Hydrogen Analyzer

The EMGA-921 Hydrogen analyzer is our flagship model for H analysis, designed to provide exceptional user-friendliness and reliable performance. 

With its high accuracy and repeatability, this hydrogen elemental analyzer is perfectly suited for both cutting-edge technology research and development, as well as quality control in various industries such as steel, new materials, catalysts, and more. 

Hydrogen is measured as H2 gas using a thermal conductivity detector, ensuring precise and dependable results.

Segment: Scientific
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA, Ltd.

Principle and Gas flow diagram

The sample is placed in a graphite crucible and the crucible is maintained between the upper and the lower electrode of the impulse furnace.  A high current power passes through the crucible to create a high temperature. 

The Hydrogen in the sample is extracted as Hydrogen gas (H2) and its concentration is determined by a thermal conductivity detector (TCD).

Super High Performance

  • Wide measurement range Hydrogen: Up to 0.02%
    • Optimized TCD design for hydrogen.
  • Precision
    • Hydrogen: SD≦0.04μg/g or RSD≦0.5% whichever is larger (Reference gas)
  • Standard method
    • EMGA-921 fulfills requirements of the standard methods for analysis of various metals(titanium, zirconium, tantalum etc.) JIS Z2614, JIS H1619, JIS H1664, JIS H0696 ASTM E1447

 

Analysis examples of JSS samples containing lowconcentrations of hydrogen.

User-friendly Software

Measurement Window

Simple software allows easy handling.

Extracted gas signals are displayed in real time numerically and also as curves together with temperature level. Graphs are saved automatically.

In the measurement window, sample weight can be registered automatically. Results are saved in a data table for easy management.

 

HORIBA originality-Maintenance navigator

Maintenance counter informs users at the timing of consumables replacement to keep high accuracy means.
And as navigator describes the easy to understand procedure for the replacing parts, operator can do maintenance works with absolutely no experience and technical knowledge.

Hydrogen Analysis in steel and metals: Solid Extraction or Fusion
EMGA has been designed for accurate measurements of hydrogen content in different sample types such as ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, semiconductors or electronic materials. The hydrogen content is extracted by fusion of the sample in inert gas and analyzed by a high sensitivity thermal conductivity detector. It is also possible to avoid fusion and extract hydrogen content in the sample by heating below the melting point. The purpose of this note is to explain when to use fusion or solid extraction, the benefits, the applications and samples.
