Introduction - Super Systems PGA 3510 Operation Manual

Introduction

The Model PGA 3510 (see part numbers in the Parts List on page 38) is a portable Multi-Gas IR analyzer
with an Oxygen (O ) cell. It measures Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
typically found in an endothermic atmosphere. The measurement of these gases, combined with furnace
temperature information, allows the PGA 3510 to calculate the percent Carbon (%C) of the measured gas.
A Hydrogen (H ) sensor can also be incorporated as an option to provide a more complete picture of the
2
measured gas.
For nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) applications, the PGA 3510 can calculate carburizing
potential (K ) and nitriding potential (K
C
Finally, the PGA 3510 can be configured for compatibility with environments containing ammonia (NH
gas. NH compatibility must be specifically requested when the PGA 3510 is ordered.

IMPORTANT!
Do not use a PGA 3510 for gas analysis with NH
with NH compatibility. Any use of a non-NH

product warranty.
WARNING!
The exhaust of the PGA 3510 should be burned or vented outside to avoid exposure to carbon
monoxide. Extended exposure to the exhaust could be hazardous to your health.
