Gas supply
Information: Measurement errors!
Impurities in the argon supply will produce measurement errors and/or will make
ICP operation impossible.
Ensure oil and grease-free laying of the argon supply line.
The instrument requires a supply of argon.
A suitable pressure reducer is required for the argon supply (bottles or liquid gas
tank).
Adjustable output pressure 0–10 bar
A maximum argon inlet pressure of 8 bar (116 psi) must not be exceeded.
The tubing for the Argon supply is included in SPECTRO’s scope of supply (5 m
long, OD/ID = 8/6 mm). This tubing is screwed to the connection on the right-hand
side of the instrument. The connection to the instrument is included in the scope of
supply. The connector on-site is customer-specific and, therefore, not part of the
delivery.
The following flow quantities are used for aqueous samples during normal
operation:
Coolant:
6 – 20 L/min, typically 12 L/min
Auxiliary gas:
0.6 – 3 L/min, typically 0.8 L/min
Nebulizer gas:
0.1 – 1.5 L/min, typically 0.8 L/min
Optical system argon
flushing rate
0 L/min (off)
0.5 L/min (low)
1 L/min (high)
