Carbon Sulfur Analyzer

Instrument Principle:

The Dual Combustion Furnace Infrared Carbon Sulfur Analyzer - QT-CSA-3500G operates based on the specific requirements for specimen detection, allowing users to choose either the resistance furnace or an induction furnace as the specimen treatment unit.

After purification, the combustion furnace receives carrier gas (oxygen), causing the specimen in the high-temperature combustion furnace to oxidize into CO2, CO, and SO2. Following de-dusting and dehydration, the resulting oxidation products are loaded into the sulfur detection cell by the oxygen for sulfur content determination.

Subsequently, the oxygen, along with the gas mixture, enters the heated catalytic furnace, where catalytic oxidation occurs, converting CO into CO2 and SO2 into SO3. After sulfur removal, the gas mixture is sequentially directed to the high-carbon detection cell and low-carbon detection cell by the oxygen for carbon content determination.

The remaining gas is then discharged. The analytical results for carbon and sulfur content are displayed in the form of % C and % S on the computer's analysis software and are automatically stored for future retrieval.

The analysis software can generate analysis reports as needed, which can be printed using an external printer. The QT-CSA-3500G Dual Combustion Furnace Infrared Carbon Sulfur Analyzer can swiftly and accurately detect carbon and sulfur content in various materials. It is user-friendly, easy to operate, and convenient for maintenance.

Qualitest Offers Carbon and Sulphur Analyzer with Precise, State of the Art Technology

A Carbon and Sulphur Analyzer is used to analyze the percentage of carbon and sulphur present in a sample. The sample is heated in a furnace in an oxygen rich environment to form carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide which can be measured in the gas stream leaving the furnace.

The measured data is compared to the mass of the original sample in order to determine a mass percentage of carbon and sulphur. Qualitest supplies a highly advanced Carbon and Sulphur Analyzer – QT-CSA-3000G with an infrared detection system for analyzing the percentage of carbon and sulphur in combustion gases.

The QT-CSA-3000G has both a resistance furnace and a high frequency induction furnace for sample pre-treatment. This enables the analyzer to measure a diverse range of sample materials while also measuring low or high concentrations of carbon and sulphur. The testing chamber has precise temperature control, which together with a state of the art pyro-electric solid state infrared detector and an anti-oxidation infrared light source, ensures accurate measurement.

Carbon content can be measured from 0.0001% to 6% while sulphur content can be measured from 0.0001% to 30% using the induction furnace and both can be measured from 0 to 100% using the resistance furnace. User friendly software displays analytical results and statistical analysis of test data.

Qualitest’s Carbon and Sulphur Analyzer – QT-CSA-3000G is the ideal equipment for measuring the carbon and sulphur content of a wide variety of different products using precise, state of the art technology.
