Specifically, υ υ → → The sample is drawn into the 43iQTL through the SAMPLE bulkhead, as shown in Figure 1–2. The sample flows through a hydrocarbon “kicker,” which removes hydrocarbons from the sample by forcing the hydrocarbon molecules to permeate through the tube wall. The SO molecules pass through the hydrocarbon “kicker”...

This chapter describes the procedures for calibrating the analyzer and describes the required equipment. The 43iQTL requires initial and periodic calibration according to the procedures described in this chapter. A quality control plan that allows the frequency and number of calibration points to be modified depending on calibration and zero/span check data should be implemented.

Page 231: Chapter 8 System Description
Chapter 8 System Description The 43iQTL deploys a set of modular subsystems that comprise the total instrument function. The core measurements for concentration are contained in Distributed Measurement and Control (DMC) modules. This chapter describes the function and location of the system components in the module framework, including firmware, electronics, and I/O function.
