Permeation systems for process GC laboratory GC, GC/MS calibration

07 Aug, 2024

KIN-TEK Analytical, Inc.’s Span Pac™ Industrial (SP61-I) permeation system dynamically creates NIST traceable gas standards for on-line calibration of process gas analysers typically located in a plant analyser house.

Span Pac™ I Units are designed for N.E.C. Class 1, Group C or D, Div II hazardous atmospheres and can be adapted to Div 1 service to work side-by-side with process analysers. These units are wall mountable with Z-purge or X-purge options and provide the perfect solution for injecting the calibration gas directly into an automated sampling system.

For calibrating laboratory gas analysers, the FlexStream™ Base automated permeation system works as a stand-alone instrument or controls an array of modules to fit unique calibration applications. For example, gas mixtures that require secondary dilution or the addition of variable humidity are easily created by selecting the appropriate modules in a series.

Users benefit from operating the FlexStream™ with a local touchscreen interface or via a user supplied PC running FlexLink™ Software supplied with the instrument. FlexLink™ Software is easy to use, provides visual graphics, and logs data - saving users time and effort.

Other systems without automation such as the 491Flex™ product series or the simplified EcoFlex are also available.

KIN-TEK offers over 550 chemical gas standards using permeation tube technology for delivering accurate NIST Traceable calibration gases. Certified Trace Source™ disposable or refillable type tubes come with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration and are manufactured for use within a Span Pac Industrial or FlexStream™ Permeation system. Trace calibration gases from high ppm to ppb concentrations, complex gas mixtures, and multipoint calibration curves are created easily using specified permeation tubes.
