Greater Accuracy

Proven NDIR Gas Detection Technology

The EMIA-Pro Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer utilizes the infrared method to measure the carbon and sulfur content of a sample after combustion in an induction furnace. It leverages HORIBA's reliable Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) measurement technology, providing a measurement range optimized for carbon from 1.6 ppm to 6.0% and for sulfur from 2 ppm to 1.0%. The analyzer features a unique CO detector and can be utilized for a wide range of inorganic materials, including steel, cokes, catalysts, non-ferrous alloys like aluminum, and lithium-ion battery materials.

Please also refer the Measurement Principle page for the details.

Flexible Upgrade after Installation

Customer has the option to expand the functionality of the EMIA-Pro system at any time, even after installation, depending on their specific needs:

Purifier Unit for carrier gas (for C Analysis) - Enables measurement of ultra-low carbon concentration with high accuracy by eliminating hydrocarbon impurities in the carrier gas.
Auto Sampler Unit - Able to accommodate up to 20 positions.
Halogen Trap Unit - Helps remove halogen elements in the sample to prevent damage to the device.

Improved Measurement and Maintenance Efficiency

Substantial Reduction in Maintenance

Along with the EMIA-Pro's cleaning feature, HORIBA has developed a robust design with fewer components for more reliable use and less service requirements.

The latest innovations have enabled the cleaning time for the EMIA Series to be typically half that of our conventional models (patent pending). Additionally, the structure around the combustion area has been designed to be as simple as possible, allowing for quick and intuitive maintenance. Specialized skills or knowledge are not required for maintenance work.

Flat design around the crucible stand

The cleaning efficiency of the EMIA Series instruments has been significantly improved compared to our conventional Carbon/Sulfur analyzers with the use of a unique automatic cleaning mechanism (patent pending). This allows users to repeat measurements up to 200 times*, with reduced time required for maintenance and cleaning, without sacrificing measurement accuracy.

* Number of repeatable measurements may vary depending on the sample and measurement conditions.

Before measurement After 200 measurements

High Throughput

The EMIA Series can complete one measurement cycle, measurement-display result-cleaning, in 70 seconds (i.e. about 50 samples/hour).

More Intuitive Software for Easy Operation

Advanced Operation Software

The EMIA Series features its own proprietary operating software, which has been designed with a focus on ease of use, optimizing layout, operating menus, and functions for enhanced user-friendliness.

Enhanced Operator Assistance

Additionally, the software includes a self-diagnostic monitoring feature to assess the status of connected devices, an alarm function, and three navigators to recommend the most suitable conditions for samples, troubleshoot errors, and alert users to perform maintenance. These features improve daily operation and ensure efficient analysis.

This application note describes the method and conditions to use with the EMIA 820V C/S analyzer to measure cement.

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.

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.

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.

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.
