FAQ : Elemental Analyzers
What is an elemental analyzer?
An elemental analyzer is an instrument used to measure the concentration of elements such as carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen in predominantly solid or selected liquid samples. It provides accurate elemental composition data for quality control, research, process optimization, and regulatory compliance.
How does an element analyzer work?
An element analyzer typically works by combustion, fusion, or thermal decomposition. During this process, the sample is heated until the target elements are released as gases. These gases are then measured using infrared (IR) and/or thermal conductivity (TCD) detectors to determine the elemental composition of the sample.
Why use an elemental analyzer?
An elemental analyzer provides accurate and reliable elemental analysis from the lower ppm range up to 100%. It is easy to operate and can analyze a wide variety of sample types, including powders, wires, pastes, and solid pieces. This makes it an ideal solution for quality control, research, compliance, and process optimization across many industries.
When is an element analyzer used?
Elemental analyzers are used whenever reliable elemental composition data is required for raw materials, finished products, research samples, or production control. They are also specified in many international standards, such as ASTM E1019, and are frequently used to verify results obtained with techniques such as XRF, OES, or Kjeldahl analysis.
Where is an elemental analyzer used?
Elemental analyzers are used in research, quality control, and production laboratories across a wide range of industries, including metals, mining, cement, energy, petrochemicals, environmental testing, food, agriculture, universities, and contract laboratories. They are also used directly in production environments, for example near blast furnaces, where fast and reliable elemental analysis supports process control.
