The XTC601 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer is based on Michell Instruments' advanced
proprietary technology. It measures the percentage levels of a Target Gas in a selection
of background gases, including nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and
biogas. The sensor is housed in a weather-proof (GP version) or explosion-proof (EX
version) casing - both IP66 & NEMA 4 rated. It is suitable for a range of applications in
safe or hazardous areas.
The XTC601 is available in single phase configuration for measurement of a variety
of binary gases, or in three phase 'HCG' configuration for hydrogen cooled generator
applications only.
