Analyser Provides Determination of C, H and S Concentrations in Organic Sample Materials

Eltra’s CHS-580 analyser for the determination of carbon, sulphur and hydrogen concentrations in organic sample materials such as fuels, oil, chemicals, soil, or cement offers unique flexibility and robustness. The instrument is equipped with a ceramic furnace with a maximum temperature of 1,550°C. It permits direct elemental analysis of solid or liquid samples without elaborate sample preparation. The typical analysis time is only 1 to 3 minutes.

While conventional combustion analysers only determine the elements carbon and sulphur, Eltra’s CHS-580 is also suitable for measuring the hydrogen content. This is a unique advantage of the analyser, particularly when analysing fuels or chemicals. The standard delivery scope of the CHS-580 includes golden infrared cells, so that aggressive reaction gases can be processed, for example for the analysis of acidulated soils.

Flexibility is guaranteed by selecting the elements to be analysed in any possible combination. The measuring range can be adapted to individual requirements by variation of the infrared cells. The CHS-580 provides reliable analysis results for element concentrations from the ppm range to 100%.

Additional benefits include: simultaneous analysis of carbon, sulphur and hydrogen possible; individual measuring ranges for C and S from the ppm range to 100%; high sample weight >250 mg; automated sample loading (option).
