Analysis Cells
for Process Photometers

Analysis CellLFE's analysis cell was developed especially for measuring traces of CO2 in water vapor at between 160°C and 180°C in the presence of highly corrosive gases. This analysis cell is compatible with the BINOS®-photometer of Emerson Process Management.

Features

The special-purpose analysis cell, which is also used in LFE's on-line TOC-analyzers, has the following properties:

Made from precision formed, semicircular glass tubes with bonded sapphire windows. This provides extremely high resistance to corrosion.

  • For ease of handling, the sample- and reference cells are mounted in a stainless steel sleeve which provides excellent protection against damage to the glass components.
  • The analysis cell is easy to clean by rinsing with a suitable liquid (e.g. water or even diluted hydrochloric acid).

The analysis cell utilizes a maintenance-free high-temperature connection technology. A spherical connector system with a PTFE seal ensures that all requirements regarding temperature- and corrosion resistance as well as long-term gas tightness are met.
