For the safe, precise and reliable analysis of carbon (C), sulfur (S) and hydrogen (H) in predominantly organic matrices such as soils, waste, wood, oil, coal and coke, ELTRA offers the elemtal analyzers ELEMENTRAC CHS-r with IR detection.
The CHS-r with up to 3 infrared cells is designed for carbon, sulfur and hydrogen measurement over a very wide concentration range. It uses a horizontal resistance furnace with ceramic tube, which operates in a range from 600 °C to 1550 °C.
The CHS-r combustion analyzer meets or exceeds the requirements of all common ASTM, DIN, EN or ISO standards for elemental analysis.

In the elemental analyzer CHS-r 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 first pass through a dust filter and then into the heated H2O infrared cell. 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 three infrared cells with different sensitivities.
