The NDIR gas analyzer from Instrava uses advanced Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology to provide accurate and reliable gas concentration measurement in industrial environments. This optical detection method analyzes gases based on their unique infrared absorption characteristics, ensuring high sensitivity, strong stability, and long-term measurement accuracy.
The analyzer supports monitoring of multiple industrial gases including CO, CO₂, CH₄, NH₃, hydrocarbons (CnHm), SF₆, and SO₂, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial gas analysis applications. With measurement accuracy up to ±2% F.S. and resolution of 0.01%, the system delivers reliable results for continuous monitoring.
Designed for industrial process monitoring and environmental gas detection, the analyzer provides fast response time (T90 ≤ 15 seconds) and stable operation even in demanding industrial environments.

An NDIR gas analyzer is used to measure gas concentrations using infrared absorption technology. It is widely used for industrial process monitoring, flue gas analysis, air quality monitoring, and environmental emission testing.
An NDIR analyzer detects gas concentration by measuring the absorption of infrared light at specific wavelengths. Each gas absorbs infrared energy differently, allowing the analyzer to accurately determine gas concentration.
Depending on configuration, NDIR gas analyzers can measure gases such as CO, CO₂, CH₄, NH₃, hydrocarbons, SO₂, and SF₆, making them suitable for multi-gas industrial monitoring applications.
Key advantages of NDIR gas analyzers include:
High measurement accuracy
Fast response time
Strong resistance to cross-gas interference
Long operational lifespan
Reliable performance for continuous industrial monitoring
