G6 LEONARDO

• ECOnomic Quality & Process Control for O/N/H

Simplicity @ Its Best

• SampleCare™ & FusionControl ensure reliable results

 

High-precision, Easy-to-use And Robust Inert Gas Fusion Analyzer

Ppb (ng/g) Limit Of Detection For Hydrogen And Nitrogen

• The high-end thermal conductivity detector used for hydrogen and nitrogen analysis allows detection limits in a sub-ppm range (based on 1g sample mass)

0 l/min Consumption Of Compressed Air

• The lower electrode movement by EZDrive eliminates the need for additonal working gases, ensures an ideal contact between crucible and electrodes to provides enhanced safety and reliability.

> 3000 °C Achievable By The Advanced Electrode Furnace For Refractory Samples

• The water cooled electrode furnace is equipped with FusionControl for precise temperature control. SampleCare™ includes an integrated maintenance-free sample port shielding the sample from undesirable heat.

The three non-metals Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H) determine the quality, service life and mechanical properties of all metallic materials. Unlike metallic alloy components, the amount of O, N and H sometimes changes considerably along the entire process chain, from the production of raw materials to the completion of the finished product. Even when present in trace amounts, O, N and H have a very critical effect on the material properties.
The G6 LEONARDO is based on the inert gas fusion (IGF), which involves fusion of the sample material in a graphite crucible at high temperatures. This principle is also commonly termed gas fusion analysis (GFA) or melt extraction (ME) since the total oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen is extracted by an inert carrier gas when the sample melts.
 
The Smart Molecule Sequence™ guarantees trustworthy results.
The aim of an IGF analysis is to determine the sample content of the light elements O, N and H in the trace range with absolute accuracy. That is why our G6 LEONARDO applies the Smart Molecule Sequence™ and measures the gases emitted by the sample directly, absolutely unchanged, 1:1, with proven scientific principles for trustworthy results. It also allows oxygen determination without additional chemicals, and usage of argon carrier gas instead of helium ensuring high reliability and low cost of ownership.
 

Key Benefits:

• FusionControl™: Ongoing contact free temperature measurement of the sample
