Carbon and sulfur analyzer for inorganic samples
Achieves precise carbon and sulfur measurement in varied inorganic materials by utilizing advanced induction furnace technology, crucial for ensuring material quality and compliance with industry standards.
The ELEMENTRAC CS-i from ELTRA GmbH is a precision elemental analyzer designed for measuring carbon and sulfur in predominantly inorganic samples. Utilizing a high-temperature induction furnace and infrared absorption, it ensures complete decomposition and accurate analysis over a wide concentration range. Ideal for industries like construction materials and metallurgy, it supports applications from aircraft components to structural steel beams. The system is capable of processing solid and powder samples with up to four IR cells configurable to customer needs. Integrated with ELEMENTS software, it enhances automation and data handling, providing seamless integration into continuous operations. The robust design, along with features like a heated dust trap and optional autoloader, ensures low maintenance and high throughput. Available configurations and optional components allow for tailored solutions, such as halogen traps for high sulfur content and special setups for cement analysis.
