How often does a flue gas Analyser need to be calibrated?

Once expired the instrument locks out until it’s calibrated to protect engineers from the temptation of using it. It doesn’t matter if you use it 10 times a year or 10 times a day, it needs it’s annual service and calibration and it’s not worth the risk using an uncalibrated machine.

How do you flue A gas analysis?

Flue Gas Analysis is performed by inserting a probe into the flue of the furnace, boiler, etc., between the last heat exchanger and draft diverter or any source of make-up air that could enter the flue that did not pass through the combustion process. This is known as ‘in-situ’ testing.

What is analyzer calibration?

Calibration of an analyzer or instrument establishes the quantitative relationship between an actual value of a standard, be it a pollutant concentration, a temperature, or a mass value (in ppm, oC or Φg, etc.) and the analyzer’s response (chart recorder reading, output volts, digital output, etc.).

What is a combustion analyzer?

Combustion analyzers are multifunction instruments designed to calculate the efficiency of all types of boilers, heaters and furnaces by measuring a range of parameters such as stack temperature, flue pressure and levels of gases. Combustion occurs when fuel, generally a fossil fuel, reacts with oxygen to produce heat.
