General measuring principle TIC

The following steps show the measuring principle:

For the determination of the TIC, the sample to be measured has to be homogenized first and
weighed-in into the furnished boat.

The weight will be entered in the instrument software. The analysis will be started by clicking the
Single symbol.

After auto-zero of the detector and after turning off the carrier gas the boats are put on the TIC
reactor and the sample is flushed into the reactor by means of little water.

After confirmation of the feeding hyrochloric acid will be automatically dosed and hte carrier gas
started. The sample will be heated up to 50°C.

The carrier gas flows through different drying and absorption steps and will be subsequently
analyzed in the detector for CO

The TIC concentration will be calculated from the integral value of the measurement by means of
the calibration coefficient.

After completion of the analysis the result can be saved.
