Eltra - Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer - CS-580

Application Examples

Ashes, building materials, coal, coke, gypsum, limestone, oil, plant materials, rubber, sand, soils, soot, tobacco, waste

Function Principle

Operation Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer CS-580

After weighing the sample in a ceramic boat, the weight is transferred from the interfaced balance to the PC. If required, sample weights can also be entered manually. Then the ceramic boat is introduced into the furnace for combustion. The average analysis time is 60 to 120 seconds. The detector signals and instrument parameters are displayed during analysis. Evaluation of the signals and display of the results are done automatically; the data can be transferred to a laboratory information management system (LIMS). The CS-580 requires minimum maintenance. The particle filters and chemicals which need to be maintained are easily accessible.

Measuring Principle Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer CS-580

In the CS-580 the sample is burnt in an oxygen atmosphere at temperatures up to 1,550 °C. The furnace temperature can be freely selected in steps of 1 °C. The combustion gasses (CO2, H2O, SO2) coming from the furnace and pass through a dust filter. After the water vapor is chemically absorbed, the dried CO2 and SO2 gas is detected in the additional infrared cells. Depending on the configuration, it is possible to combine up to four (for C, S analyzers) infrared cells with different sensitivities.

ELTRA is a specialist for elemental analyzers for the accurate and rapid analysis of solid materials. ELTRA equipment is a standard for elemental analysis in industries such as mining, steel, energy, cement and metal working.

ELTRA analyzers are used to reliably determine elements like carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen, and cover a wide, dynamic measuring range. The ability to adapt each analyzer to user specifications allows the precise measurement of a great variety of organic and inorganic samples in a multitude of applications.
