Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer ELTRA CS-i TRAC EMEN n/ Carbo recise P is Analys Sulfur uctive by Ind ! ustion Comb

The analyzers of ELTRA’s new ELEMENTRAC series are a combination of high functionality, elegant design and innovative features. The user-friendly operation, robust construction and precision of the instruments are further indicators of the high product quality. The new ELEMENTRAC CS-i is designed to reliably, accurately and safely analyze carbon and sulfur concentrations predominantly in inorganic sample materials by combustion in an inductive furnace. Effective configuration with 2 or 4 infrared cells with selectable measuring range for carbon and sulfur analysis Novel vacuum system...

Carbon / Sulfur Analysis The determination of carbon and sulfur is required in a wide range of inorganic solid materials. Pure metals like copper, iron, titanium as well as metal alloys (steel, brass), glass, ceramics or slags are characterized by their carbon and sulfur content and display different properties depending on the C/S content. Iron, for example, gets more brittle and less elastic with increasing carbon content. Reliable and precise elemental analysis is also essential for the quality control of natural materials like ores, limestone, or soils. The ELEMENTRAC CS-i analyzer is...

The high...

ELEMENTRAC® CS-/: Reliable analysis results & easy operation Operation of the ELEMENTRAC analyzer is pretty straightforward and only requires a few steps. The typical sample volume for carbon/sulfur analysis lies between approx. 50 and 1000 mg; concentrations from 1 ppm to 100 % can be reliably detected. Prior to combustion in the ELEMENTRAC CS-/, sample extraction from the initial body is required for which various methods can be applied. International standards such as DIN EN ISO 14284 (sampling for steel and iron) give some orientation. Step 1: Logging the sample into the ELEMENTS...

Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer ELEMENTRAC® CS-i ELEMENTRAC® CS-i: Integrated standard solutions ysis Reliable anal of C and S in inorganic materials The chemicals and filters required for operation of the ELEMENTRAC CS-i are conveniently arranged on the front of the analyzer and may be concealed behind a removable door. This arrangement substantially reduces maintenance time and increases usability. Innovative details of the ELEMENTRAC CS-i significantly improve the reproducibility of carbon and sulfur measurements. removable door heated catalyst (hidden) Dust trap Crucible support with ceramic...

Catalyst A heated catalyst is integrated in the CS-i analyzer to ensure accurate determination of carbon contents, particularly in carbides and cast iron. Its extended reaction path guarantees complete oxidation of incomplete combustion products (carbon monoxide) and thus optimum reproducibility even for very high carbon concentrations. Easily accessible heated dust trap The dust generated by inductive combustion is collected in an external dust filter which is easily emptied. Efficient heating of the dust trap prevents condensation of water vapor which significantly improves the recovery...

Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer ELEMENTRAC® CS-i ELEMENTRAC® CS-i: Configurations and options The ELEMENTRAC CS-i is available in various configurations and with a range of optional accessories. All CS-i standard configurations come with the lance management, catalyst and power control as described above. The variable measuring range of the ELEMENTRAC CS-i is defined by the configuration of the infrared cells but also by the sample quantity to be analyzed. Thanks to the complete decomposition of the sample, very high concentrations of carbon and sulfur (e.g. in silicon carbide, zinc sulfide) may...

Further options Dust extraction The dust which is generated during combustion can be extracted with an optional vacuum system. This improves the reproducibility of carbon/sulfur measurements and reduces maintenance. The dust extraction can be equipped with either a regular folded filter or an efficient HEPA filter to safely handle class H dust. Gas purification furnace ELTRA’s gas purification furnace has a large capacity for cleaning the carrier gas oxygen to improve the precision of carbon measurements in the lower ppm range. Pre-heating furnace Pre-heating of the ceramic crucibles may...

NEW: ELEMENTS Software The comprehensive Windows-based ELEMENTS software is an essential part of the ELEMENTRAC CS-i. A central window (analysis and results) is the starting point from which all functionalities required for the daily routine are easily accessible. From here it is possible to group and export measured samples, or register and measure new samples. The user may call up various subordinate functionalities like measurement settings, calibration, diagnosis, or status. ELEMENTS functionalities Comprehensive report functions LIMS Diagnosis and status window Filter for analysis...
