APHA-370 THC Analyser (Total Hydrocarbons)

Our measuring device APHA-370 is a continuously working analyzer for the determination of THC, CH4 and non-CH4 in the ambient air.

Further applications exist in various areas of process and trace analysis. The Horiba measuring device APHA-370 is a flame ionization detector which uses the “cross flow modulation principle”. Sample gas and reference gas are alternately supplied to the sample cell. The measuring gas in which the THC concentration was eliminated serves as reference gas. This guarantees low-maintenance operation and extremely stable measurements. The measuring device is almost interference-free and has an internal sample gas pump. The burner air is generated from the ambient air and fed to the detector.

Features:

• Selective combustion flame ionization detector simultaneously measures THC, NMHC and CH4.
• Single detector eliminates zero drift; Low Range: 0-5ppmC F.S.
• Integrates relative sensitivity correction for CH4 and NMHC.
• Integrates a reference and combustion air generator, NMHC cutter and sample pump.
• Requires H2 as the fuel gas for the FID.
