Gas Analyzers
Fast, accurate and easy to use instruments for measuring and
analyzing carbon dioxide or oxygen. Fyrite Analyzers are available
for either CO2 or O2 analysis, and each model is produced in three
scale ranges.
All six instruments are similar in appearance and size, but differ in
important construction details, as well as in the absorbing fluids.
Each model, therefore, is suitable only for the particular gas
analysis or scale range for which it has been manufactured.
Accuracy is within ±1/2% CO2 or 02.

Applications

Fyrite absorbing fluid is selective in the chemical absorption
of carbon dioxide or oxygen, respectively. Therefore, the
Fyrite’s accuracy, which is well within the range required
for industrial and professional applications, does not
depend upon complicated sequential test procedures.
In addition, Fyrite readings are unaffected by the presence
of most background gases in the sample.

Operation

0-7.6% CO2 –
CO2 tests of controlled atmospheres in fruit, vegetable,
meat storage rooms, and incubator monitoring.

The number of tests possible with one fluid charge
depends on the concentration of samples being tested.
At midpoint scale reading the CO2 fluid is good for
approximately 300 gas samples and the O2 fluid for 100
tests. The need to replace fluid can be easily determined
with a simple test, and replacement is an easy procedure.
These test procedures, as well as other good information,
are provided in the Fyrite manual 11-9026.

Features

Fyrite Indicators have a broad range; they may be exposed
to ambient temperatures from -30° to 150°F, and gases
up to 850°F may be tested with standard aspirator
sampling equipment (special sampling equipment for
higher gas temperatures or dry gases is available). Order
Fyrite Instruction Manual 11-9026. For temperatures
above 1400°F, a ceramic sampling tube (Bacharach
Part # 11-0164) is available.

0-7.6% O2 –
Oxygen determination in flammable gases; oxygen tests
to check inertness of atmosphere in silos, fuel tanks, etc.
0-20% CO2 –
Flue gas combustion tests; CO2 tests of heat treating
atmospheres.
0-21% O2 –
Flue gas combustion tests, oxygen deficiency test.
Checking oxygen concentrations in hydrogen cooled
generators and oil sealed inert gas transformers.
0-60% CO2 –
Checking CO2 in inert gas blankets in tankers and barges
carrying gasoline and other combustibles; CO2 tests on
lime kilns; checking CO2 in sewage plant digesters.
0-60% O2 –
Oxygen test in connection with oxygen and gas
anesthesiology.
Note: United States and Foreign Postal Regulations prohibit Fyrite fluid,
in or out of any unit, from being shipped parcel post.
