42/24-30 EN Rev. 1 EL6010 Gas Analyzer in Category 2G Operator’s Manual 9
Gas Inlet and Outlet Conditions
Sample Gas
Inlet Conditions
(Atmospheric
Conditions)
The gas analyzer is capable of measuring non-flammable and flammable gases
under atmospheric conditions which occasionally can form an explosive environ-
ment.
Inlet Pressure pe≤100 hPa (= 0.1 bar) or pabs ≤1,100 hPa (= 1.1 bar)
Temperature EL6010-Uras14 +5 to +45 °C
EL6010-Magnos106 +5 to +50 °C
EL6010-Caldos17 +5 to +50 °C
Flow EL6010-Uras14 20 to 100 l/h
EL6010-Magnos106 20 to 60 l/h
EL6010-Caldos17 normally 10 to 90 l/h, min. 1 l/h
The maximum oxygen content of the sample gas mixture should be 21 Vol.-%,
corresponding to atmospheric conditions.
If the sample gas is a mixture only of oxygen and flammable gases and vapors, it
must not be explosive under any conditions. As a rule this can be achieved by
limiting the oxygen content to a maximum of 2 Vol.-%.
Flammable gases that are explosive under the conditions encountered in analysis
even when oxygen is excluded should be present in the mixture only in concentra-
tions that are not critical to safety.
Sample Gas
Inlet Conditions
(Positive Pressure)
When specially equipped and when special conditions are fulfilled, the gas ana-
lyzer is capable of measuring pressurized non-flammable and flammable gases.
The sample gas should never be explosive. The analyzer unit should have two
ventilation openings.
Inlet Pressure pe≤300 hPa (= 0.3 bar) or pabs ≤1,400 hPa (= 1.4 bar)
Temperature EL6010-Uras14 +5 to +45 °C
EL6010-Magnos106 +5 to +50 °C
EL6010-Caldos17 +5 to +50 °C
Flow EL6010-Uras14 20 to 100 l/h
EL6010-Magnos106 20 to 60 l/h
EL6010-Caldos17 normally 10 to 90 l/h, min. 1 l/h
If the sample gas consists of non-flammable gases and vapors, the maximum
oxygen content should be 21 Vol.-% O2, according to atmospheric conditions.
If the sample gas is a mixture only of oxygen and flammable gases and vapors, it
must not be explosive under any conditions. As a rule this can be achieved by
limiting the oxygen content to a maximum of 2 Vol.-%.
Flammable gases that are explosive under the conditions encountered in analysis
even when oxygen is excluded should be present in the mixture only in concentra-
tions that are not critical to safety.
The “Flowing Reference Gas” option is not available for the EL6010-Uras14.
Definition pe= pabs – pamb where
pe= positive pressure, pabs = absolute pressure, pamb = atmospheric pressure
