NEO Monitors LaserGas - Model II SP Compact -Standard Single Path Compact Monitor
Derived from the standard SP instrument. The compact version is optimized for short distance measurements in the range of 10 to 100 cm. It uses a non-contact optical measurement method, also known as in-situ measurement. The LaserGas™ II SP Compact can measure a wide range of gases, temperatures and dual gases. The LaserGas™ II SP is also Ex certified, including IECEx, ATEX, CSA. The instrument requires no consumables and does not require regular maintenance. Since there is no need for sample pretreatment, the reliability of the measurement is further improved and the error caused by the pretreatment process is eliminated. Real-time measurement can be performed by simply connecting the power supply, signal cable and purge unit. It is also physically smaller than the LaserGas™ II SP.
Derived from the standard Single Path instrument, SP Compact Monitors are optimized for short distance measurement in the range 10 to 100 centimeters.
The Monitors feature a focused laser beam, which enables the instrument to measure through very thin nozzles (< 10 mm diameter). For applications with continuous purge to prevent dust on the analyser lens, the SP Compact requires very small purge flow. With optional internal desiccants these monitors can also be optimized for in-situ measurement of trace levels of atmospheric gases (O2 and H2O).
The LaserGas II SP Compact Monitor consists of a transmitter / receiver unit (mounted diametrically opposite each other) to measure the average gas concentration along the optical line-of-sight.
