For the safe, precise and reliable analysis of carbon (C), sulfur (S) and hydrogen (H) in predominantly organic matrices such as soils, waste, wood, oil, coal and coke, ELTRA offers the elemtal analyzers ELEMENTRAC CHS-r with IR detection.
The CHS-r with up to 3 infrared cells is designed for carbon, sulfur and hydrogen measurement over a very wide concentration range. It uses a horizontal resistance furnace with ceramic tube, which operates in a range from 600 °C to 1550 °C.
The CHS-r combustion analyzer meets or exceeds the requirements of all common ASTM, DIN, EN or ISO standards for elemental analysis.
Fast, simultaneous measurement of carbon, sulfur and hydrogen
High sample weight possible
Optimized (low blank) sample port
IR path made of solid gold for extended lifetime
Wide measuring range from 20 ppm to 100%
The ELEMENTRAC CHS-r elemental analyzer determines the elements carbon, sulfur and hydrogen by combustion of the sample in an oxygen stream and subsequent measurement of the combustion gases CO2, SO2 and H2O in selective infrared measuring cells. A high sample weight of up to 500 mg ensures excellent reproducibility of the measurement results, even for heterogeneous samples.
The high combustion temperatures and electronic monitoring of the oxygen flow allow complete oxidation of the sample and help to avoid too low results even with challenging materials like cement. Regardless of the selected configuration (carbon - sulfur - carbon/sulfur - carbon/hydrogen/sulfur), operation is identical in all versions.
