    GAS IN tube must be minimized. (4) When the sample gas is hot, cool it until the same level as the ambient temperature of FI-815A. (5) For gas sampling in high temperature and high humidity atmosphere or in the state near saturated vapor concentration, condensation in the sampling tube may disable measurement.
  • Page 16 (8) For safety, to provide a flame arrestor for line, install it into each line of the GAS IN and GAS OUT. CAUTION FI-815A requires appropriate tubing works (selection of materials and other works) depending on types of sample gas and installation conditions. For questions about tubing works, please contact RIKEN KEIKI.
