G4 PHOENIX DH

Analyzer for automatic determination of diffusible Hydrogen in solids

Hot extraction, carrier gas method

Description and Technical Data

G4 PHOENIX DH
Determination of diffusible Hydrogen
The Analyzer
The G4 PHOENIX DH has been developed for
the determination of the diffusible hydrogen in different sample matrices. The analysis system
comprises a rapid heating infra-red clamshell
furnace and/or a wire-heated tube furnace, both
equipped with a quartz tube for heating of the
sample. The diameter of the tube in the infrared
furnace is 30 mm so that even big samples like
weld seams according to EN/ISO 3690 and AWS
A4.3 can be analyzed without problems.
A simple and reliable calibration is guaranteed by
the integrated automatic gas dosing unit with 10
different volumes. The heart of the analyzer is a
highly sensitive and long term stable thermal
conductivity detector for reading even smallest
hydrogen contents.

The Application
The G4 PHOENIX DH is suitable for the automatic determination of the diffusible Hydrogen content in solid material, like steel, aluminum, welding materials, weld seams etc.

The Software
The analysis software of the G4 PHOENIX DH is
clear and simply structured. All tasks to be performed by the software are clearly divided into
four different screens.

Analysis screen

Performance of the analysis, manual input of

sample weight or by direct transfer from the
balance, display of weight buffer, graphical
display of signal data, display of the results of the
last five analysis

Program settings

Setting of analysis parameters, e.g. furnace temperatures, timing, storage of configuration

for different applications and methods with complete set of data.

Statistics screen

The statistical evaluation of the analyses, calculation of mean value, standard deviation, variance, variance coefficient, display of minimum and maximum value, print-out

Calibration

Different methods for the calibration of the instruments by means of the integrated gas calibration
unit are selectable: single-point, two-point or multipoint calibration.
