Teledyne Analytical Instruments 5 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer Model 212R 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Method of Analysis. The Model 212R compares the thermal conductivity of a sample gas to that of a fixed composition reference gas and produces an electrical outputsignal that is calibrated to represent the...

Teledyne Analytical Instruments 6 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer Model 212R 1.2 Sensitivity. Differences in thermal conductivity that produce a measuring bridge error signal of 0.25 microvolts will be sensed by the analyzer. 1.3 Stability. Internal variables, other than the sample gas, that could pro...
