MTL K6050/KG6050 Single or Dual Gas Analyser for Hydrogen, Helium and Argon

Eaton Crouse-Hinds series MTL K6050 Gas Analyser accurately measures the changes of one constituent in binary or pseudo-binary gas mixtures.  Examples include hydrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium and various halogenated hydrocarbons such as Freons.

The K6050 and KG6050 are true portable, process analysers.  The rechargeable battery is used so that it will last longer than a full shift (with pump off).  Extended operation is possible by running the analyser with the battery charger connected.  Both analysers are supplied with built-in sample pump, a flowmeter and control valve.  The KG6050 includes an oxygen sensor as well as a katharometer, thus widening the range of applications.

Features

  • A wide range of gases monitored, including hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon
  • Fast warm-up with rapid response time
  • Weatherproof to IP67
  • Optional oxygen measurement
  • A non-depleting maintenance-free katharometer sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the gas
  • A built-in sample pump means that samples can be drawn from low pressure sources or can be naturally aspirated; an integral needle valve and flow indicator are used to control the sample flow through the analyzer
  • Dual gas measurement is provided by the KG6050; it combines the measurement abilities of the K6050 with oxygen measurement by the electrochemical cell
  • Rugged and portable – true portability is achieved from sealed rechargeable batteries, which offer 6 hours of continuous operation; extended operation is possible by running the unit with the battery charger connected
  • A large, alphanumeric LCD shows measured values and also displays messages and prompts for the menu-driven configuration and calibration routines

Applications

  • Hydrogenation processes
  • Gas purity
  • Food processing
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Power generation/distribution
  • Breweries
  • Metallurgical atmospheres
