EMIA-Step
Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer
In addition to the “EMIA-Expert/Pro” series of high-frequency induction furnace type, the “EMIA-Step” of tubular electric resistance heating furnace type has been newly added to our Carbon/Sulfur Analyzers lineup. It realizes highly accurate and sensitive analysis, and its variable heating temperature function enables the quantitative analysis by separating it by temperature and condition as well as whole quantity analysis.
Segment: Scientific
Produktionsfirma: HORIBA, Ltd.
- Enables temperature control starting at a low temperature range
EMIA-Step provides good temperature stability from low to high temperatures. This broadens the application range to samples containing substances that are easily decomposed and burned at low temperatures.
<Temperature rise control from 300 °C to 900 °C>
You can easily see the decomposition combustion of organic matter and inorganic matter respectively.
- New dust-filter provides easy maintenance capability
EMIA-Step adopted the proven dust-filter mechanism in the high frequency induction heating models. The filter unit collects the dust generated by combustion at high temperature. This prevents the dust from adhering to piping after the combustion furnace, and reduces adsorption of CO2 and SO2 gases by dust. This mechanism makes highly accurate and sensitive analyses possible.

Measurement of Carbon and Sulfur in Copper
Copper in reddish metal, it is malleable, ductile and an extremely good conductor of both heat and electricity. Copper metal is widely used for electrical wiring, water piping, and corrosion resistant parts, either pure or in alloy such as brass and bronze. Carbon and Sulfur are considered as impurities, so it is important to measure and check the Copper purity.
