  • Page 29: Sample Pressure, Temperature, And Flow Rate

    Sample Pressure, Temperature, and Flow Rate A pressure reducer/regulator should be installed near the sample tap. Variations in flow of 10 percent will not affect instrument accuracy. Nominal sample pressure to the system should be 520 kPa (75 PSI) gauge with a minimum pressure of 200 kPa (30 PSI) gauge. Temperature of the incoming sample gas should not exceed the analyzer cell tempera- ture of 60 °C (140 °F).
