Michell Instruments XTC601 Binary Gas Analyzer is designed to measure the percentage of a selected gas in a binary mix. Using thermal conductivity with high quality thermistors, the sensor is reliable and highly stable. The analyzer is housed in an explosion-proof case and is rated ATEX Cat II for use in hazardous areas. For installation in non-hazardous areas, a general purpose version is available.

The analyzer is suitable for binary mixtures containing CO2, CH4, Ar, He, N2, H2 or Air. Measurement ranges are selectable from 0-5% up to 0-100% with 0.1% resolution and ±2% accuracy. The touch screen display provides intuitive operation. The IP66 rated enclosure and hazardous area certifications (ATEX, IECEx, TC TR Ex, cCSAUS) make it suitable for demanding industrial environments. It is SIL2 Rated meeting IEC61508 Requirements.

Applications for the XTC601 include hydrogen coolant in electricity turbines, product quality in air separation plants, syngas production, helium recovery, fuel cell research, gasification, product quality such as air in argon for double glazing, coupling with an XTP601 for measuring oxygen in varying backgrounds, and AR or HE in food and beverage plants.
