Carbon / Sulfur Analyzer
Due to difficulties in getting Carbon and Sulfur into solution, these elements are not readily measured by ICP Spectroscopy and an alternative technique is needed. The LECO CS-300 combustion analyzer is used for the measurement of Carbon and Sulfur in metals, ores, ceramic and other inorganic materials. The sample is combusted in a stream of purified Oxygen which produces CO2 and SO2 from the Carbon and Sulfur, respectively. These species are then detected and quantified by infrared detection. The instrument is capable of detecting Carbon and Sulfur down to approximately 0.005% by weight in a metal sample. Standards are run with each sample which have a Carbon and Sulfur content as close to the sample as possible.
