A new portable analyser for SF6
Sulphur Hexafluoride is an important industrial gas, used as an insulator in electrical switchgear and in metal processing: but it is also a very potent "greenhouse gas" so measurement is important
Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) is an important industrial gas, used as an insulator in electrical switchgear and in metal processing It is, however, a very potent "greenhouse gas" so it is important to control leakage from these applications

Quantitech has launched the DX-4030, a portable FTIR multi-component workplace gas analyser.
It is also used as a "tracer" gas for testing ventilation systems and its use is prescribed in US, UK and European norms for testing laboratory fume cupboards.
The new InfraRan Specific Vapour Analyser from Wilks provides real time, on-site measurements of SF6 down to below 1ppm.
A measuring range of 0-10ppm, resolution of 0.01 ppm and typical response time of 5-10 seconds make the instrument ideal for tracer and leak detection applications.
Factory calibrated and with easy-to-use menu-driven software, the InfraRan Specific Vapour Analyser enables non-technical personnel make fast, accurate measurements with minimal training.
The InfraRan is truly portable - it weighs only 8.2 Kg and runs for up to 8 hours on its internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack.
Mains power can also be used for convenience in the laboratory.
Internal data logging is provided for convenient recording of results.
The only consumables required are zero gas and particulate filters, so cost of ownership is kept to a minimum.
UK distributors for the InfraRan Specific Vapour Analyser are Quantitech of Milton Keynes.
