5 Analysis
5.1 Working procedure
Danger caused by scalding by samples
Sample material
– Damage to the respiratory tracts, skin and/or mucous membranes.
– Radiation damage.
• The user must himself assess the risk emanating from a sample during
the analysis.
Fire hazard / Risk of burns
Hot parts (crucibles, reagents,...) can fall down
Ignition of tables, floors, or any other surface the hot part falls on
Ignition of clothes and any other material
• Set up the analyser in a flame retardant environment. Pay special
attention to the table, the floor and any other surface being in the near
of the analyzer
• Always wear suitable clothing
• Keep the work environment clear of all materials that could catch fire
Hot crucibles
A hot crucible can cause injuries or damage to property on contact or if it falls
down.
• Adapt the “Post waiting time” so that the crucible can cool down
sufficiently.
• Take care that no flammable materials are situated below the furnace
opening
Eye injury
Hot combustion tube.
Eye damage.
• Avoid looking directly into the hot combustion tube. For eye protection
use the supplied protective glass.
With the CS-2000 a wide variety of materials can be analyzed. The analysis methods are
therefore diverse. As different materials burn differently, the chosen sample weight, the possible
accelerators, the procedure for the insertion of the sample into the furnace and, finally, the
sensitivity of the infrared cell will be different. The user of the device can receive from us free
advice regarding the different methods involved for different materials. We optimize the
