Most flammable vapor analyzers respond differently to different vapors. Whenever the process solvent is changed, the analyzer must be either recalibrated or reprogrammed to ensure that it’s measurement of the new solvent vapor is still accurate. This creates a challenge when trying to measure a mixture of solvent vapors, especially when using narrow-banded infrared sensors. Now let's compare FTA vs IR for process applications.
This month we've been comparing FTA vs Catalytic for process applications...now let's see it in action!
A customer of ours who produces high performance materials, industrial specialty chemicals and coating solutions, was using a catayltic sensor where a flammability analzyer would be more beneficial.
The only way to ensure that a sample reaches the sensor is to employ active sampling. This is essential in our comparison of flammability analyzers and catalytic sensors for process applications. So let's focus on an important feature: failsafe performance.
Many fires and explosions occur in facilities which thought they had adequate protection against such hazards. Selecting a sensor which responds accurately to the combustible vapors found in process applications is essential. But so is the speed of response.
NEW LITERATURE ANNOUNCEMENT
Title: Flammability Analyzers Versus Flame Ionization Detectors for Process Applications
For the past few weeks we've been comparing the use of Flammability (FTA) Analyzers and Flame Ionization (FID) Detectors in process applications.
We've talked about reading error and sample accuracy when comparing the use of Flammability (FTA) Analyzers and Fl
Last week we talked about reading error, this week let's continue our discussion comparing the use of Flammability (FTA) Analyzers and Flame Ionization (FID) Detectors in process applications, with sample accuracy.
Our next topic in the comparison of the Flammability (FTA) Analyzer and Flame Ionization (FID) Detector for use in process applications, is reading error.
