4060 Gas Chromatographs

General Details

The 4060 Series of Gas Chromatograph (GC) analyzers combine Teledyne’s field proven detector technologies with gas chromatography column separation capability. This enables reliable and repeatable of a single or multiple compounds in a stream containing interfering components. 

Flame-ionization detector (FID) or thermal conductivity detector (TCD) options enable part-per-billion (ppb), part-per-million (ppm) or percent levels of detection depending on application. The analyzer includes an integral temperature-controlled sample system of 316SS and Teflon construction to provide a suitable sample to the detector. Contact TAI for other available materials.

 

Product features:

 

  • Field-proven microprocessor-based electronics with menu-driven functionality
  • Easy-to-view 5-digit LED display for readings
  • 2 x 20 vacuum fluorescent display for menu options, settings and status
  • 0-1 VDC and 4-20mA (isolated) analog outputs and gas identification outputs
  • RS-232 duplex digital output
  • Two fully-configurable concentration alarms and one system alarm, all with Form-C relay contacts
  • Built-in diagnostic capability
  • Auto-calibration and remote-calibration ready (integral valves available)

  • Beverage-grade carbon dioxide: detection of ppb benzene, acetaldehyde, methanol and VCM in beverage-grade carbon dioxide to ISBT specification
  • Methane / non-methane hydrocarbon monitoring
  • Nitrogen or Argon purity
  • C1-C4 levels in natural gas or syngas production
  • LNG impurity detection
  • MTBE monitoring in gasoline
  • Hydrogen detection in a mixed fuel gas

Chromatography Software – Tracs™
Tracs™ software developed by TAI provides all features and functionality needed to view and analyze chromatography data. When installed on a PC computer, Tracs™ collects digitized data fed from the analyzer with which it can plot chromatograms, perform analytical calculations, log data, and save information for future use. 

Features include:

    • Bi-directional communication of analyzer’s range, alarm and timing settings which can be remotely uploaded and downloaded
    • Acquires real-time raw data for continuous display of chromatograms
    • Chromatograms can be superimposed upon one another to verify repeatability
    • Elution peaks can be displayed within their own respective timing frames or individually manipulated for optimal peak scrutinization
    • Statistical summary including analytical calculation of measurements, distribution of values and deviations
    • Data-logging
    • Saving and retrieving of digitized data files
