Introduction

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a colorless, highly irritating, toxic and corrosive gas and can exist as a fuming liquid. HF is a severe irritant to the eyes, skin, and nasal passages already at 2 ppm levels. It may penetrate easily and quickly through the skin or lungs and into the tissues in the body causing serious damage to cells and organs.

HF is a common industrial compound used in manufacturing of fluorine, superacids, refrigerants, pharmaceuticals, polymers, among others. The continuous monitoring of low ppb levels of HF is needed to ensure product quality, reduce waste and for occupational and environmental safety

GASERA ONE HF analyzer is based on combining ultrasensitive cantilever enhanced photoacoustic detection technology with Tunable Diode Laser source operating at a NIR fundamental spectral absorption line of hydrogen fluoride. This combination provides enough sensitivity to reliably measure ambient background levels of hydrogen fluoride. It also gives an exceptionally high level of stability with a recommended re-calibration period of 12 months, offering a low total cost of ownership.

Features

• Selective monitoring of hydrogen fluoride with below 0.5 ppb detection limit
  
• Response time user configurable from 10 seconds to a few minutes
  
• Dynamic range of 0 - 10 ppm and stable operation
  
• Gas cell stabilized to 50 °C and 300 mbar to avoid drifts due to changes in environmental conditions
  
• Low sample volume (few ml)
  
• Recommended re-calibration interval of 12 months
  
• User configurable monitoring tasks
  
• Intuitive user interface
  
• Built-in display presents results both numerically and graphically

Measurement Performance
