Sample Pressure And Temperature Requirements - Ametek 3050-AP User Manual

Sections of this manual. However, if the process gas stream contains, or has the possibility
of containing particulate materials, AMETEK Process Instruments recommends that a inline,
1/8" tube 7 UM filter (supplied) be installed an the inlet of the analyzer. AMETEK filter (part
number 271639001) is ideally suited for this purpose, and will mount directly on the inlet fitting
of the analyzer. While installing this filter at the inlet of the analyzer will protect the analyzer
from any particulates present in the sample gas, it will also increase the response time of the
system. This increase in response time is caused by the large surface area of the filter element.
If you have questions concerning the sampling requirements of your process gas, please contact
us at any of the addresses located in the front of this manual.

Sample pressure and temperature requirements

Pressure reduction is user supplied to ensure sample pressure to the analyzer remains within
the minimum and maximum range of 20 - 50 psig. The pressure reducer/regulator with gauge
should be installed near the sample tap in-between the tap and analyzer. Refer to figure 2.3.
For optimum performance, sample line should be heat traced to maintain a constant sample
temperature. Optimum sample gas input is 60°C.
