Fidamat 6 Continuous Gas Analyzer
The FIDAMAT versions cover trace measurement of hydrocarbons in pure gases (made possible by high resolution and low differences in the response factors), to total content measurement for hydrocarbons in the presence of corrosive gases. The high, adjustable operating temperature for the internal gas path and the detector also allows the measurement of high-boiling mixtures and the measurement of hydrocarbons at vapor concentrations of up to 100%. There is no need for an external computer.
