600 FID / MHFID

Article: 00097809

Total hydrocarbon analyzer / concentration / methane / flame ionization

The CAI 600 Series total hydrocarbon analyzer
utilizes the principle of Flame Ionization Detection
(FID) to determine the total hydrocarbons within a
gaseous sample.
The heated version has a heated oven (191°C) that
contains a burner and an optional heated pump.
The small fl ame of the burner is elevated and
sustained by the regulated fl ows of air and either
pure hydrogen or a 40/60 mixture of hydrogen and
(helium or nitrogen).
The split-ring detector contains two electrodes. One
electrode is negatively polarized using a precision
power supply and the other electrode, known as
the ?collector,? is connected to a high-impedance,
low-noise electronic amplifi er. The two electrodes
establish an electrostatic fi eld.
When a gaseous sample is introduced to the burn-
er, it is ionized in the fl ame and the electrostatic
fi eld causes the charged particles (ions) to migrate
to their respective electrodes. The ion migration cre-
ates a small current between the electrodes. This
current is measured by the precision electrometer
amplifi er and is directly proportional to the hydro-
carbon concentration of the sample.
