3.3 Intended use
The induction furnace of the analyzer was designed for the analysis of mainly steel and other
metals. However, a wide variety of materials such as cement, ceramics and soil can also be
analyzed for its carbon and sulfur content.
With restrictions concerning sample weight and accuracy, also coal, rubber, plastics etc. can be
analyzed.
The resistance furnace is rather suitable for the last mentioned samples (combustibles,
plastics), whereas an analysis of metallic samples is not recommended in this due to low
temperature and dust.
Depending on the application, the sample weights, accelerator(s) and settings on the analyzer
can significantly influence the accuracy and precision of the measured values.
Use is only permitted in the laboratory by appropriately trained and briefed personnel.
All other applications are prohibited, in particular the use in non-industrial areas.
