Fyrite
®
Fast, accurate and easy to use instruments for measuring andanalyzing carbon dioxide or oxygen. Fyrite
Analyzers specification are available
for either CO
2 or O
2 analysis, and each model is produced in threescale ranges. All six instruments are similar in appearance and size, but differ inimportant construction details, as well as in the absorbing fluids.Each model, therefore, is suitable only for the particular gas analysis or scale range for which it has been manufactured.
Accuracy is within ±1/2% CO
2 or 0
2 .
Operation Applications
Fyrite absorbing fluid is selective in the chemical absorption
of carbon dioxide or oxygen, respectively. Therefore, the
Fyrite’s accuracy, which is well within the range required
for industrial and professional applications, does not
depend upon complicated sequential test procedures. In addition, Fyrite readings are unaffected by the presence
of most background gases in the sample. The number of tests possible with one fluid chargedepends on the concentration of samples being tested.

2 fluid is good forapproximately 300 gas samples and the O
2 fluid for 100tests. The need to replace fluid can be easily determined
with a simple test, and replacement is an easy procedure.
These test procedures, as well as other good information,
are provided in the Fyrite manual 11-9026.

to ambient temperatures from -30°to 150°F, and gases
up to 850°F may be tested with standard aspirator sampling equipment (special sampling equipment for
higher gas temperatures or dry gases is available). Order

above 1400°F, a ceramic sampling tube (Bacharach Part #11-0164) is available.
