GAS ANALYSER [8 records]

Record 1 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Gas Industry
DEF

A section of the sampling system that diverts a portion of the sampled gas away from the analyser/instrument or sample container.

OBS

The flowrate and pressure loss in the open-ended line need to be controlled so as to ensure that sample accuracy cannot be affected from any cooling and condensation.

Domaine(s)
  • Tuyauterie et raccords
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Industrie du gaz
DEF

Section du système de prélèvement qui dérive une partie du gaz échantillonné à distance de l'analyseur/instrument ou du cylindre échantillonneur.

OBS

Il faut contrôler le débit et la perte de charge dans la [conduite] ouverte pour s'assurer que le refroidissement et la condensation éventuelle n'affectent pas la représentativité de l'échantillon.

OBS

ligne d'évent : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 2014.

Record 2 2016-04-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

A unit for introducing a constant or a measured amount of material to be analysed into the analyser.

OBS

In gas analysis, the introduction device is frequently a multi-port valve, in which a fixed volume of a calibration mixture or sample is isolated and, by operation of the valve, passed into the analyser.

OBS

introduction unit: term and definition standardized by ISO in 2014.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Dispositif permettant d’introduire dans l’analyseur une quantité de matière à analyser constante ou mesurée.

OBS

En analyse des gaz, le dispositif d’introduction est généralement une vanne multivoie, dans laquelle on peut isoler un volume fixe de mélange étalon ou d’échantillon pour le faire passer ensuite dans l’analyseur.

OBS

unité d’introduction : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 2014.

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Waste Management
CONT

This monitoring methodology provides for direct and continuous measurement of the actual quantity of landfill gas flared and of the methane content of the landfill gas flared using a continuous flow meter and a continuous methane analyser.

CONT

The monitoring plan provides for continuous measurement of the quantity and quality of LFG flared and the electricity generated.

Record 4 2001-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Aerospace Medicine
CONT

The Gas Analyzer System for Metabolic Analysis Physiology (GASMAP) device is used to monitor and analyze inhaled and exhaled breath streams to determine their gas concentrations. The primary gases of interest are nitrogen (N²), oxygen (O²), carbon dioxide (CO²), argon (Ar), acetylene (C²H²), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), helium (He), and carbon monoxide (C18 O). The GASMAP flight hardware consists of two components: an analyzer module and a calibration module, both of which are housed in drawers inside Spacelab. The analyzer module contains all the sensor and electronic hardware of the GASMAP.

OBS

gas analyser system for metabolic analysis physiology; GASMAP : term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group(ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
  • Médecine aérospatiale
OBS

équipement de physiologie dédié à l'analyse métabolique des gaz; GASMAP : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

In thermal conductivity analysers, a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit measures the imbalance caused by passing gas over detector filaments, using half of the cells for the fumigant air mixture and the other half for air as a control. This analyser, in a portable form, is commonly used to check for methyl bromide in ship holds, but it can also be calibrated for other gases. It will not differentiate between fumigants if mixtures are used.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Instruments scientifiques
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

Dans ce genre d'appareil, on utilise un circuit à pont de Wheatstone pour mesurer le déséquilibre provoqué par le passage d'un gaz au-dessus des filaments détecteurs. La moitié des cellules sert à l'analyse du mélange fumigant/air; l'autre moitié sert aux mesures témoins avec de l'air uniquement. On utilise couramment des modèles portatifs pour mesurer les concentrations de bromure de méthyle dans les cales de navire, mais on peut aussi étalonner les analyseurs en fonction d'autres gaz. En pratique, les analyseurs à conductivité thermique conviennent mal pour l'analyse de mélanges de fumigants.

  • Scientific Instruments
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Air Pollution
CONT

TAGA. The Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyser was developed at the University of Toronto and SCIEX Ltd. The device uses a quadrapole mass spectrometer in continuous operational mode. System sensitivity is high(ppt levels), selectivity for various pollutants is good, and can be used in a mobile environment. EPS is evaluating the device for a monitoring role. The system is quite expensive(well over $100, 000) and requires a high level of expertise to operate. Because of its price it will probably be limited to use by organizations conducting large atmospheric surveys.
