Item # 0017-7674, Calibration standards in Hexane 50 ml. 10, 50 & 250ppm to be used with the Oil-in-Water Analyzer

Water and hydrocarbons absorb in the near IR at 3.4 to 3.5 microns (2930 cm^-1). By dissolving the oil content of a sample into fluorochlorocarbon (freon), which is nonabsorbing at 3.4 to 3.5 microns, and following the extraction procedure established in EPA methods 413.2 and 418.1, a working curve is prepared using blank solvent (freon) and known standards. Samples are then compared to the calibration curve in direct ppm readings shown on the instrument. Repeatability is ±1% on identical samples.

The Model 2930 can also be used with hexane based EPA method 1664, which is an analysis technique that does not require the use of freon as a solvent. A special cell is an optional accessory for this freon-free technique.

Features And Specifications

• Fixed 3.42 micron wavelength and 30 cm^-1 bandwidth allows quick 10 second analysis without unnecessary scanning. Response time is a maximum of 40 seconds in damping 2 mode. Furthermore, the operating range permits the use of stable coated quartz optics that are not subject to degradation over time.
• Digital readout in %T, absorbance or concentration. Ranges: 0-100% T; 0-2 absorbance units; and 0-1 and 0-0.1 concentration. Built in scale expansion. Direct ppm readout. Recorder output is provided for optional recorder.
• Built in curve linearizer. Higher concentrations easily calibrated. Small footprint requires minimal benchspace. Portable. Weight: 20 pounds. Dimensions: 14” W x 11” D x 10” H.
