What is BS EN 61207-6- Performance of gas analyzers using photometric analyzers about?
BS EN 61207 discusses the expression of the performance of gas analyzers. BS EN 61207-6 is the sixth part of BS EN 61207 multi-series and discusses the performance of gas analyzers using photometric analyzers. BS EN 61207-6 to all aspects of analyzers using photometric techniques for the measurement of the concentration of one or more components in a mixture of gases or vapors. It should be used in conjunction with IEC 61207-1.
For photometric analyzers utilizing tuneable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy (TSLAS) for gas measurements, IEC 61207-7 should also be referred to. This part of IEC 61207 applies to analyzers using non-dispersive and dispersive wavelength selection and using absorption, emission, wavelength derivative or scattering techniques. BS EN 61207-6 applies to analyzers that receive either a conditioned or unconditioned sample of gas either under vacuum, at ambient pressure or pressurized. BS EN 61207-6 applies to analyzers that measure gas concentrations directly within the sample gas.
Who is BS EN 61207-6- Performance of gas analyzers using photometric analyzers for?
BS EN 61207-6 on the expression of the performance of gas analyzers using photometric analyzers is useful for:
- Gas analyser manufacturers
- Climate change researchers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61207-6 - Performance of gas analyzers using photometric analyzers?
Photometric analyzers utilize detectors that respond to wavelengths in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum within the wavelength range 0,1 μm to 50 μm. Within this range of wavelengths, many gases have absorption and/or emission bands. Analyzers designed to utilize these bands employ several techniques, including sensing of specific absorbed radiation by the sample gas or emitted radiation from the gas sample after artificial excitation. The volume of gas measured may be contained within a sample cell and this sample may or may not be conditioned, or (for in-situ analyzers) the concentration may be directly measured within the sample gas itself.
BS EN 61207-6 provides you with the terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of gas analyzers, utilizing a photometric analyzer, for the continuous measurement of gas or vapor concentration in a source gas. BS EN 61207-6 provides you unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional performance of such analyzers.
BS EN 61207-6 guides you with what tests should be performed to determine the functional performance and how such tests should be carried out. BS EN 61207-6 helps you provide basic documents to support the application of standards of quality assurance.
