Series AR712/722 Gas Chromatograph

Analysis of Impurities in Argon

The GOW-MAC Series AR712/722 GC has been engineered and optimized specically for the analysis of trace impurities in argon. Two congurations are available depending upon the impurities being measured. Principle The argon gas passing through the detector is subjected to a high electromagnetic eld. This causes the gas to illuminate. A light dependent resistor (LDR) monitors the resulting luminance. The light intensity is altered as the sample component elutes from the column. The output from the LDR is converted to a mV signal and is measured on a data reduction system. The area count is proportional to the concentration of each component in the sample. Features "" Laminar low volume ow system "" Hands-free operation in auto-mode "" High quality VCR ttings ensure perfect seals "" Mass spec leak tested valve in argon purged housing "" Pre-installed, pre-tested analytical column(s) with chromatogram "" Rapid start-up with factory supplied documentation "" Accuracy of 1% "" Application guaranteed

Applications Specialty gas manufacturers Industrial processes requiring inert argon Semiconductory industry Gas separation plants Nuclear industry Certication of argon purity Air separation plants Specialty gas manufacturers
