What is BS 5849- Infra-red analyzers about?
BS 5849 applies to non-dispersive infra-red analyzers used for the continuous determination of certain aspects of air quality by measuring gaseous constituents either in ambient or confined atmospheres or in gaseous streams entering the ambient air.
BS 5849 applies to infra-red analyzers specified for installation either indoors or outdoors. BS 5849 applies to the complete analyzer as an integral analytical unit, including all-optical, mechanical, electrical and electronic portions.
Note: BS 5849 does not apply to the required sample handling systems or other accessories such as recorders, analogue-to-digital converters, or data acquisition systems, used in conjunction with the analyzer.
Who is BS 5849 - Infra-red analyzers for?
BS 5849 on functional performance of non-dispersive infra-red analyzers is useful for:
- Infra-red analyzer manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 5849- Infra-red analyzers?
The non-dispersive infra-red analyzer is an electro-optical spectrophotometric instrument with no spectral dispersion component, consisting of a single or double source of infra-red radiation and one or more infra-red detectors separated by an optical cell or cells through one or more of which the sample flows, whereby the specific spectral absorption of the component of interest is determined.
BS 5849 provides you with the terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of non-dispersive infra-red analyzers used for the continuous determination of certain aspects of air quality by measuring gaseous constituents either in ambient or confined atmospheres or in gaseous streams entering the ambient air.
BS 5849 provides you with methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional performance of such analyzers. BS 5849 provides you with the test to be performed to determine the functional performance and procedures to carry out these tests. BS 5849 helps you manufacture high-quality non-dispersive infra-red analyzer.
