Industrial digital flame photometer (research)

The Fater Electronic 620G digital flame photometer is built for research laboratories, universities, cement, glass and ceramics plants, water and soil research centers, agricultural research centers and the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its technical specifications and performance are exactly like those of the Corning instruments of England. The test result is shown in ppm, and the device is supplied with a standard solution and an air compressor.

This device comes with a three-year warranty and ten years of after-sales service. Its installation and commissioning are free, and the supply of its spare parts is guaranteed for ten years.

Control system

• Calibration: The device is calibrated at 1, 3 or 5 points, depending on the laboratory's working range.
• Automatic calibration: Blank and standard calibration is automatic and needs no manual adjustment.
• No graph plotting: With 5-point calibration, unlike other imported flame photometers, no graph has to be plotted to reach the result.
• Memory: The device has 100 memories for storing sodium, potassium and lithium results.
• Keypad: A membrane keypad with device status indicators makes the device easy to work with.
• Processor: The hardware is built with an AVR microcontroller and software designed by the company's own specialists.
• Controls and indicators: An on/off switch with a power lamp, a triple seven-segment display for the sodium, potassium and lithium results and the memory number, a fuel adjustment screw, Zero, Cal and Measure keys with a flashing lamp, lamps for flame on, no air and no gas, and an air regulator on the back of the device.

Measuring system

• Filters: Sodium and potassium filters are supplied with the device.
• Mixing chamber: The new mixing chamber is designed on past experience and with a new formula. Less fluctuation, no breakage and ease of use were the main aims of its design.
• Air compressor: An Oil Free compressor, model 850, made by the company itself, with an Italian electric motor, is supplied with the device. Its air flow is 6 L/min at a pressure of 14 psi, and its maximum outlet pressure is 22 psi.
• Sensitivity: These concentrations show at least 100 scale units: sodium 3 ppm, potassium 3 ppm, lithium 5 ppm, calcium 50 ppm and barium 200 ppm.
• Selectivity: An interfering element (sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium or barium) at a concentration equal to the element under test contributes less than 0.5 % to the reading. This value is given only for sodium, potassium and lithium.
• Linearity: Linearity at mid-scale is better than 2 %, with calibration at sodium 3 ppm, potassium 3 ppm and lithium 5 ppm.
• Repeatability: The coefficient of variation for twenty consecutive samples is better than 1 %, at concentrations of sodium 10 ppm, potassium 10 ppm, lithium 10 ppm, calcium 100 ppm and barium 1000 ppm.
• Applications: Water analysis, agricultural samples, quality control, foods and the fermentation industries.

Options

• Other filters: The lithium filter is ordered separately; the calcium and barium filters are also to order.
