6 INTRODUCTION
This unit, mounted on an aluminium plate, provides a completely pre-installed sample gas conditioning
for continuous use that can be excellently integrated within gas analysis systems.
Its compact construction only takes up little space. The SS-5.. units are ready for use in a few minutes.
This makes time-consuming procurement of individual components and assembly superfluous.
7 APPLICATION
The gas conditioning and sampling system is ideally suited for both intermittent and continuous
operation.
The components of the system SS-5... are intended for "standard use." We also provide a wide range
of additional equipment and other components if special measurements are required.
