FAQs of Orsat Gas Analysis Apparatus:
Q: How is the Orsat Gas Analysis Apparatus used for gas measurement?
A: The apparatus is used by manually introducing a 50100 mL gas sample into the burette, then sequentially passing the sample through absorbent solutions (potassium hydroxide for CO, pyrogallol for O, and ammoniacal cuprous chloride for CO). Changes in burette volume, marked in 1 mL divisions, indicate the concentration of each analyte gas.
Q: What safety precautions should be taken during operation?
A: Operators must use protective gloves and eyewear while handling the Orsat Apparatus and the chemical absorbent solutions. The device works with non-pressurized, ambient gas samples and uses chemical reagents, so safety gear is essential to prevent direct contact and inhalation of reagents.
Q: When should the apparatus be cleaned, and how is it done?
A: The Orsat glassware should be rinsed with distilled water after each analysis to remove any residual chemicals and maintain measurement accuracy. Occasional deep cleaning and inspection of glassware integrity are recommended for consistent, safe operation.
Q: Where can the Orsat Apparatus be applied?
A: This apparatus is suited for laboratory and onsite industrial gas analysis. It is specifically useful for analyzing gas mixtures from industrial stacks, flue gases, and laboratory gas samples, supporting applications in research, environmental monitoring, and process control.
Q: What is the benefit of using borosilicate glass and replaceable parts?
A: Borosilicate glass offers excellent chemical resistance, preventing contamination and ensuring durability. Replaceable parts allow for easy maintenance and long-term serviceability, reducing downtime and operational costs compared to single-use or non-serviceable alternatives.
Q: How portable is the Orsat Apparatus, and does it require a power supply?
A: With a weight of approximately 3.5 kg and a bench-top mounting design, the apparatus is easily portable between locations. It operates manually without the need for any electrical power, making it suitable for field as well as laboratory use.
