10.3. Pneumatic Operation
Caution
It is important that the sample airflow system is leak-tight and not pressurized
over ambient pressure. Regular leak checks should be performed on the
analyzer as described in the maintenance schedule, Table 9-1 . Procedures for
correctly performing leak checks can be found in Section 11.5.1.
Relative Pressure versus Absolute Pressure
In this manual vacuum readings are given in inches of mercury absolute pressure (in-
Hg-A), i.e. indicate an absolute pressure referenced against zero (a perfect vacuum).
10.3.1.
Sample Gas Flow
The Flow of gas through the M100E UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer is created by a small
internal pump that pulls air though the instrument.
