Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas Analyzer B and the Extended Version
Natural Gas Analyzer B
The Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas Analyzer B is used to
analyze methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and light
hydrocarbons up to n-nonane in natural gas.
The Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas Analyzer B is a dual
cabinet micro GC equipped with two channels:
• PoraPLOT U channel with a backflush option
• 6 meter CP-Sil 5 CB channel
Natural Gas Analyzer B Extended
The Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas Analyzer B Extended is
used to analyze hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrocarbons
up to n-nonane.
The Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas Analyzer B Extended is
a quad cabinet micro GC equipped with three channels:
• CP-Molsieve 5A channel with a backflush option
• PoraPLOT U channel with a backflush option
• 6 meter CP-Sil 5 CB channel
The Natural Gas Analyzer B Extended version is equipped with
a dual carrier gas option for the CP-Molsieve 5A channel. It is
made flexible for analysis of hydrogen and helium on the
CP-Molsieve 5A channel if required. For the analysis of helium
on the CP-Molsieve 5A channel, the carrier gas must be argon.
All analyzers are factory tuned on carrier gas helium.
Before starting up the Agilent 490 Micro GC - Natural Gas
Analyzer, ensure that correct carrier gases are connected for all
channels. For all types of analyzers, the required carrier gas is
helium. However, to analyze helium on the CP-Molsieve 5A, the
carrier gas must be argon. The required pressure for carrier gas
is 550 kPa (80 psi). For more information on the Agilent 490
Micro GC, see the Agilent 490 Micro GC User Manual.
