    Optional equipment: A recording device such as a strip-chart recorder and/or data logger should be used to record data from the T100’s serial or analog outputs. If analog readings are used, the response of the recording system should be checked against a NIST traceable voltage source or meter.

  • Page 91: Zero Air

    If calibrator and zero air source are not available, then use a bottle of SO air. Teledyne API offers an IZS option operating with permeation devices. The accuracy of these devices is about ±5%. Whereas this may be sufficient for quick, daily calibration checks, we strongly recommend using certified SO span gases for accurate calibration.

PHYSICAL RANGE MEASUREMENTS The entire measurement range of the T100 is 0 – 20,000 ppb, but many applications use only a small part of the analyzer’s full measurement range, which then becomes a data resolution challenge where the reported measurement may be barely perceptible.

    The first stage (Equation 6-1) occurs when SO molecules are struck by photons of the appropriate ultraviolet wavelength. In the case of the T100, a band pass filter between the source of the UV light and the affected gas limits the wavelength of the light to approximately 214 nm.

    The degree of offset differs from detector to detector and from PMT to PMT and can change over time as these components age. To account for these offsets the T100 includes a shutter, located between the UV Lamp and the source filter that periodically cuts off the UV light from the sample chamber. This happens every 30 minutes.

  • Page 171: Optical Filters

    OPTICAL FILTERS The T100 analyzer uses two stages of optical filters to enhance performance. The first stage conditions the UV light used to excite the SO by removing frequencies of light that are not needed to produce SO *. The second stage protects the PMT detector from reacting to light not produced by the SO * returning to its ground state.

  • Page 172: Pmt Optical Filter

    PMT O PTICAL ILTER The PMT used in the T100 reacts to a wide spectrum of light which includes much of the visible spectrum and most of the UV spectrum. Even though the 214 nm light used to excite the SO is focused away from the PMT, some of it scatters in the direction of the PMT as it interacts with the sample gas.

  • Page 180: Flow Rate Control

    FLOW RATE CONTROL The T100 uses a special flow control assembly located in the exhaust vacuum manifold (refer to Figure 6-10) to maintain a constant flow rate of the sample gas through the instrument. This assembly consists of: A critical flow orifice.

    Figure 6-12. T100 Hydrocarbon Scrubber (Kicker) In the T100 some of the cleaned air from the inner tube is returned to be used as the purge gas in the outer tube (refer to Figure 6-12). This means that when the analyzer is first started, the concentration gradient between the inner and outer tubes is not very large and the scrubber’s efficiency is relatively low.

    PNEUMATIC SENSORS The T100 uses two pneumatic sensors to verify gas streams. These sensors are located on a printed circuit assembly, called the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board. The flow simultaneously enters the sample pressure sensor and the flow sensor from the outlet of the reaction cell.
