Calomat 6 Continuous Gas Analyzer
The CALOMAT 6 is a high-end analyzer available in a 19" design or in a robust field unit for mounting in the open air. For continuous measurement of hydrogen and noble gases, the thermal conductivity of the sample gas mixture is measured and used to calculate the concentration. In general, its range of uses includes all areas from the measurement of gas purity measurement through process monitoring and controls to insure product quality. The CALOMAT 6 can carry out internal cross correction after transmission of the external measuring results. There is no need for an external computer.
