- 4hydrogen (H₂) measurements
- 2oxygen (O₂) measurements
- IP54in a 19" rack
Our scope
- Engineering of the analysis system
- Installation of the analysers in a 19" rack with IP54 protection
- Integration of the measurements in process control
Equipment installed
H₂ measurement
4 ABB Advance Optima AO2000 analysers, with electronics module and analyser module, front display and keypad.
O₂ measurement
2 ABB Advance Optima AO2000 analysers, with electronics module and analyser module, front display and keypad.
Continuous monitoring of hydrogen and oxygen in the furnace atmosphere makes it possible to maintain annealing conditions, improve product quality and operate safely.
