Teledyne Camera Accessories T100 Benutzerhandbuch

The T100 uses two pneumatic sensors to verify gas streams. These sensors are located 
on a printed circuit assembly, called the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board. The flow 
simultaneously enters the sample pressure sensor and the flow sensor from the outlet of 
the reaction cell. 

13.4.4.1. SAMPLE PRESSURE SENSOR 

An absolute pressure transducer plumbed to the input of the analyzer’s sample chamber 
is used to measure the pressure of the sample gas before it enters the chamber. This 
upstream used to validate the critical flow condition (2:1 pressure ratio) through the 
instrument’s critical flow orifice (refer to Section 13.4.2). Also, if the 
Temperature/Pressure Compensation (TPC) feature is turned on (refer to Section 
13.7.3), the output of this sensor is also used to supply pressure data for that calculation. 

The actual pressure measurement is viewable through the analyzer’s front panel display 
as the test function PRESS.  

13.4.4.2. SAMPLE FLOW SENSOR 

A thermal-mass flow sensor is used to measure the sample flow through the analyzer. 
This sensor is also mounted on the pneumatic pressure/flow sensor board upstream of 
the sample chamber. The flow rate is monitored by the CRT which issues a warning 
message (SAMP FLOW WARN) if the flow rate is too high or too low. 

The flow rate of the sample gas is viewable via the front panel as the SAMP FL test 
function.
