| APNA-370 Ambient NOx Monitor The APNA-370 continuously monitors atmospheric NOX, NO2, and NO concentrations using a cross-flow modulated semi decompression chemiluminescence method. The APNA-370 employs an independent, internal dry-method sampling device to achieve the highest levels of sensitivity and accuracy. The dry method, due to its minimal maintenance requirements and capability of continuous monitoring and instantaneous analysis of gas in its unaltered state, has been a preferred method for monitoring the atmospheric pollution. Product Features The APNA-370 uses a combination of the dual cross flow modulation type chemiluminescence principle and the referential calculation method. This gives it the advantages of the single-detector method plus the ability to do continuous measurements of NOX, NO, and NO2. The design gives great stability and extremely high sensitivity (0.1 ppm F.S.) Standard equipment includes a drier unit with an automatic recycle function to provide dry ambient air as the ozone source. This makes long-term continuous measurements possible. The detector uses a silicon photodiode sensor to reduce size and prolong working life. All the necessary features are built right into a single rack-sized unit, including a reference-gas generator, an ozone-source drier unit, an ozone decomposer, and a sampling pump. No supplemental gas is required. |

The units have few moving parts, provide accurate displays over the long term, and achieve highly stable monitoring. The units also use infrared analysis, which offers superior sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. The units safeguards incorporated into their construction that provide high levels of safety in potentially explosive environments. The units can be used for process control in a variety of industries, including smelting, mining, petrochemical, and biochemistry. Product Features The integration of the analysis and operation instruments allows easy maintenance and inspection.A digital display provides accurate on-site readings.The units provide continuous long-term, stable monitoring thanks to the use of HORIBA-developed chopper monitors, which require no lubrication and have long operating lives.Japanese-made solid filters on all sides and a high-performance output device ensure superior selectabililty, especially with regard to interferant gases.The complete enclosure of such items as the output device cell port, the cell, and the internal piping ensures that they will not be damaged by explosion and thus minimizing the possibility of secondary explosions due to the ignition of sample gases.The units have wide-range transmission capabilities (1 km standard).The series offers four models: the general-use, pressure- and explosion-resistant EIA-31; the low concentration-use, pressure- and explosion-resistant TIA-31; the general-use, internal pressure- and explosion-resistant EIA-31F; and the low concentration-use, internal pressure- and explosion resistant TIA-31F. |
| IG-320 Gloss Checkers Gloss is a surface's attribute of directly reflecting light and the degree of this reflected light is termed glossiness. The IG-320 discerns even the lowest levels of gloss and provides a definite numerical value for glossiness. The IG-320 provides for appraisal control based on objective data for such operations management areas as floor maintenance, polishing, and coating. Because the IG-320 does not require the use of special measuring technology, it can easily be used by anyone. In addition, the IG-320's measurement angle can be set from 20 degrees to 60degrees, thus allowing for measurement that accurately conforms to target surfaces. Furthermore, operational efficiency has been further enhanced by making the measuring device detachable from the main body. Product Features The IG-320 features no-warm-up, one-touch test readings and provides real-time numerical displays of glossiness using only the sample measurement device. The IG-320 is equipped with ±5%F.S. measurement function. A lightweight, compact body makes the unit easily transportable and easy to use on any production line. The IG-320's has an easy-to-insert battery and offers continual-use time of more than 15 hours. The IG-320 is Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) compliant. |
