Oxygen analyser has advanced gas
compensation
Enhanced background gas compensation on a new oxygen analyser makes it ideal for applications with undefined hydrocarbon gases: the rugged low-maintenance design ensures long-term reliability
Enhanced background gas compensation on the new APX Advanced Paramagnetic Oxygen Analyser from GE Panametrics makes it ideal for applications with defined or undefined hydrocarbon gases, while a rugged low-maintenance design ensures long-term reliability and accuracy By measuring gas heat capacity and viscosity as well as thermal conductivity, the APX has an advantage over traditional paramagnetic analysers, as it is better equipped to differentiate background gases with significantly different or varying diamagnetic effects
