1-3 SAMPLE GASES
WARNING
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
This analyzer is of the type capable of
analysis of sample gases which may be
flammable. If used for analysis of such
gases, the detection section of the analyzer must be either in an explosion proof
enclosure suitable for the hazardous classification of the gas , or, protected by a
continuous dilution purge system in accordance with Standard ANSI /N FPA-496
-1986 (Chapter 8) or IEC Publication
79-2-1983 (Section Three).
If explosive gases are introduced into this
analyzer, the sample containment system
must be carefully leak checked upon installation and before initial startup, during
routine maintenance and any time the integrity of the sample containment system
is broken, to ensure that the system is in
leak proof condition. Leak check instructions are provided in Section 4-1b on page
4-3.
Internal leaks resulting from failure to observe these precautions could result in an
explosion causing death, personal injury
or property damage.
Determination of whether a sample stream of
a particular composition is suitable for
monitoring depends on its compatibility with
the construction materials in a) the detector
cell, and b) the instrument flow system. In all
instruments, the detector cell utilizes a thin
film of phosphorous pentoxide (P
rhodium electrodes. Depending on the
intended application of a given instrument
version, its internal flow system is constructed
of either stainless steel (for corrosion
resistance) or brass (for non-corrosive sample
gases only).

2-4 SAMPLE CONNECTIONS AND SAMPLE
HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS
Locations of sample inlet and outlet ports in
the various analyzer configurations are shown
in the engineering drawings located at the
back of the manual. All analyzers have 1/8
inch bulkhead, compression type tubing
fittings.
A suitable gas handling system is required to
deliver sample to the analyzer at the proper
pressure and flow rate. Acceptable sample
pressure range for the standard analyzer is 10
to 100 psig. A sample pressure outside this
range necessitates installation of an
appropriate accessory. Refer to Table 2-1.
Accessory Devices for Sample Pressure
Ranges on page 2-11.
Although installation of a sampling system is
essentially straightforward, problems resulting
from an improperly designed system can have
a highly adverse effect on analyzer
performance. Therefore, special care in
planning the installation is required to ensure
maximum reliability and accuracy.
In designing a sample system, refer to the
following general rules, which are applicable
to all installations and all analyzer
configurations.
1. Use of stainless steel tubing throughout is
strongly recommended. Its smooth walls
and passive surfaces minimize moisture
adsorption. Other metals, and plastics,
increase system response time and
decrease accuracy. Some plastics are
entirely unsatisfactory, because of
permeability to water vapor.
solution) through tubing until effluent is
essentially colorless.
c. Rinse with water and then with
acetone.
d. Purge with clean, dry, nitrogen or air.
3. Minimize internal surface area of sample
system by using minimum length,
minimum diameter lines. Generally, 1/8
inch o.d. tubing is recommended.
4. Provide high velocity sample flow. Where
pressure reduction is required before
sample enters the instrument, an important
factory is to locate the pressure regulator
as near the process stream as possible.
5. Use minimum number of valves and
fittings, each is a potential source of leaks.
6. Select components for minimum leakage
and moisture absorption. With pressure
regulators: (a) advise manufacturer of
extreme low leakage requirements, (b)
choose units with metallic, not elastomeric,
diaphragms. Use packless valves
wherever possible. Where pipe fittings are
required, seal with Teflon tape, not pipe
thread compound.
7. Avoid dead ended passages, voids, and
blind holes. They permit accumulation of
stagnant gases, resulting in sluggish
system response.
2. Tubing and other components in contact
with sample must be scrupulously clean.
Dirt and oil absorb water. Recommended
cleaning procedure for tubing is as follows:
a. Wash with acetone.
b. Pass cleaning solution (10% nitric acid
and 5% hydrofluoricacid in aqueous
