Adsorptive Gases
Nitrogen Unit Nitrogen; argon, carbon dioxide, or other non-corrosive gases; butane,
methane, or other light hydrocarbon vapors. Oxygen can also be used
only with an appropriate vacuum pump.
Krypton Unit Same as Nitrogen unit, plus the capability to perform krypton surface
area analyses at lower pressures.
The analyzer should be operated in a properly vented environment when using flammable or toxic
gases.
