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.
