EMIA-Expert
Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer
High Performance Model: EMIA-Expert
For expert analysis demanding the greatest accuracy and precision
The EMIA-Expert Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer is based on HORIBA’s widely respected expertise in Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology.
It offers improved the cleaning efficiency, enhanced user-friendly software, durability, operability and maintenance to ensure efficient measurements and its shortened cycle time accelerates your development and manufacturing speed.
Advanced functions for EMIA-Expert
EMIA-Expert has advanced functions to realize high performance analysis in addition to standard functions of EMIA-Pro.
High Performance Purifier Unit for Carrier Gas
Enables measurement of ultra-low carbon concentration with high accuracy by eliminating hydrocarbon impurities in the carrier gas.
High Performance Heating Filter Unit
Samples which are moist or that generate water during analysis may cause a small error for the analysis of sulfur. This is due to the evolved water absorbing the SO2 gas. Using the heating filter, the absorption of SO2 by moisture is prevented, and highly accurate sulfur analysis is guaranteed.
Segment: Scientific
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA, Ltd.
Long MTBM (Mean Time Between Maintenance)
The unique newly-developed cleaning mechanism (patent pending) clears the dust in the furnace, allowing the operator to continue to use the EMIA-Expert/Pro without maintenance cleaning for up to 200 measurements*.
* It depends on sample and measurement condition
Before measurement After 200 measurements
High Throughput
EMIA Series can complete one measurement cycle, “measurement-display result-cleaning”, in 70 seconds (i.e. about 50 samples/hour)
Fast & Easy Maintenance
With the latest innovations the cleaning time for the EMIA Series instruments is typically half of that of our conventional models. The flat design around the crucible stand and simple design around the furnace also simplify user access for cleaning.

Advanced Operation software
A critical focus was to ensure that the EMIA-Expert/Pro Series was “easy-to-use”. In particular, we focused on the layout, operating menus and functions.
We have included a self-diagnostic monitor checking capability to check the status of the connected device, an alarm function and we have expanded 3 navigators to facilitate daily operation.
* Analysis Navigator
This function uses the recommended best measurement flow and operating condition based on our experience.
* Troubleshooting Navigator
Automatic diagnosis system and troubleshooting navigator.
* Maintenance Navigator
Periodic preventive maintenance work navigator by videos and photos.
Option
The customer can extend the system’s functionality at any time, even after installation, depending upon their needs.
* Auto-sampler (20 positions)
* Halogen trap unit

Measurement of Carbon and Sulfur in Cement
This application note describes the method and conditions to use with the EMIA 820V C/S analyzer to measure cement.
Battery Evaluation in Electrical Equipment
Measurement of Sulfur in Rubber
Sulfer is added in the natural rubber to produce plastic materials. However, it is important to measure the sulfer contained in the rubber to define the chemical and mechanical properties of the final product.
Measurement of Carbon in Ferrosilicon
Ferrosilicon is added as a deoxidant and as an alloying element to steel, that require a special low carbon content. The Low Carbon in Ferrosilicon decreases the electrical conductivity and magnetostriction of electrical steels.

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.
Measurement of Carbon and Sulfur in Titanium Oxide
Titanium oxide are used primarily in the production of paints and plastics and are also used in paper, priniting inks, cosmetics, textiles and food stuffs.
Carbon Analysis: Organic and Inorganic Carbon in Soils
The aim of this application note is to explain the determination of organic and inorganic carbon in soils and how to prepare samples to eliminate inorganic carbon (carbonates) in these soils.
