Standards Definitions
Standard Name—This is the name of the Standard defined by
the operator. The part number or lot number of the standard
can be used in place of the name.
(Element) Percent—The value of the standard. This is the
carbon or sulfur value taken from the label.
System Tab
Significant Digits—The number of digits displayed in all fields of
the spreadsheet except the mass and analysis result. The
number of digits in the mass field is determined from balance
configuration and the number of digits in the result field is
determined by the analysis method.
Reduction Heater (Catalyst) Temperature—The set operating
temperature of the Measure Flow Catalyst Heater. Range 0-
900oC. Default 350oC.
Gas Conservation Timeout—The time in minutes, after analysis,
when the instrument automatically switches to the gas
conservation mode. Range 0 to 600 minutes. Default 15
minutes.
Gas Conservation Mode—The oxygen flow settings used as gas
conservation. Normal oxygen flow is 3 liters per minute.
Conservation mode changes the oxygen flow to 1 liter per
minute. Off turns the oxygen flow completely OFF. Selections
are OFF or Conservation.
Autocleaner—Configures the instrument for use with the
optional autocleaner. Selections: Enabled (an autocleamer is
installed), Disabled (an autocleaner is not installed).
Door Option—Configures the instrument for use with the
optional dust eject door. Selections: Enabled (a dust eject door
is installed), Disabled (a dust eject door is not installed).
Increment Sample Names—If enabled, and the sample name
ends in a number, the number will be automatically
incremented by one every time a sample is entered. If there is
no number in the sample name one will be added, starting with
2 on the second sample with that name. Standards do not
increment. Selections are Enable or Disable.

After Use
The AC power to the instrument should remain on at all times.
If the power to the instrument is switched off for any reason a
one-hour warm-up is necessary before analyzing samples.
The instrument automatically switches to conservation (low gas
flow) after an amount of time specified by the Conservation
Time-out in System Configuration, page 4–18 or 4–59.
Remove the crucible from the furnace after use.

calibration calculates the system blank and compensates for it
when calculating the analysis result. The system blank should
be determined every day by performing a blank calibration
before analysis. Refer to Blank Calibration on page 5–79.
Standard Calibration
Standard Calibration is used to calibrate the instrument with
known calibration standards. A single point or multi-point
calibration can be performed and the curve type selected
although, LECO recommends multipoint, linear calibrations that
employ 1/certified weighting. Additionally a blank calibration
should be completed prior to performing a standard calibration.
Since Standard Calibration is saved with each method, each
method must be calibrated after it is created. Refer to
Standard Calibration on page 5–80.
Drift Correction
Drift Correction is used to compensate standard calibration and
account for variances in the instrument hardware that can
slightly change the calibration. Drift correction should be

Definitions
System Pressure—The operating pressure of the system before
it is pressurized. The system pressure will not change as the
system is being pressurized.
Initial Pressure—The system pressure at the start of system
pressurization. Normally, initial pressure is the same value as
system pressure.
Current Pressure—The system pressure at the current time.
The current pressure changes rapidly as the system is being
pressurized.
Change Pressure—The difference between the initial pressure
and the current pressure. A negative number indicates an
increase in system pressure. A positive number indicates a
decrease in system pressure.
Time—The length of time, in seconds, that the test has been
running. Normally, after 60 seconds the test is complete.
• The area between the base line and plotted curve is the
integrated concentration of sample gas as it passes through
the IR cell.

11. Adjust the overload control, R32, down until the furnace
power trips. Be sure the power has actually tripped and
that the power has not merely turned off because the
analysis has ended. Verification can be accomplished by
observing that LED1 is lighted.
12. Turn the overload control back approximately 11/2 turns to
ensure that the furnace will go into overload just above
the full-scale current setting of 500mA.
13. Reset the overload by turning the power level control to
reset and then back to max. Now the furnace should not
go into overload when the power level control is returned
to max.

Analysis
Analyze Valve State—In this valve state, oxygen flows through
both the furnace and the determinator system.
When the gas is turned on, oxygen, regulated at 35 psi at its
source, enters the determinator through the O2 inlet port on the
cabinet back panel. Oxygen flow is then filtered through a 6
inch bubble tube (located on the front of the furnace)
containing Lecosorb and anhydrone. Carbon dioxide is removed
from the oxygen flow using Lecosorb reagent and moisture is
removed in the anhydrone reagent. Oxygen, with all impurities
removed, serves as the carrier gas in the system.
After all impurities have been removed from the carrier gas, the
flow is divided into two paths; one path, the lance flow, is
directed through solenoid valve 3 and into the top of the
combustion tube. During an analysis, lance flow is held
constant and is directed into the sample to assist carbon-
bearing components to convert into CO or CO2. The second
path is directed through solenoid valve 5 into the bottom of the
combustion tube; this flow rate varies (2 to 3 lpm) in
accordance with each valve state.
The carrier gas flows from the combustion tube sweeping
released gases from the combustion tube through a screen
filter, then through a 4 inch filter tube containing anhydrone to
remove water. The carrier gas, regulated by a flow controller in
the oven, flows through the catalyst heater. A small percentage
of the carbon is present as carbon monoxide, which is
converted to carbon dioxide as the gas flows through the
platinized silica gel in the heater. Sulfur trioxide is removed in a
cellulose trap. Gas then flows through the cellulose trap, CO2 IR
cell and solenoid valve 15. It is then exhausted out the back of
the unit.
Furnace Open 1 Valve State—In this valve state, the
combustion tube is depressurized so that residual dust can be
ejected.
Lance flow remains the same as in the analyze valve state, but
the measure flow is bypassed through both solenoid valve 9
and solenoid valve 2. Flow through solenoid valve 9 is briefly
purged through the combustion chamber while flow from
solenoid valve 2 passes through the cellulose trap and IR cell as
previously described for the measure flow. Pneumatic gas flows
through the safety pressure regulator. With solenoid valve 9
open, the lance and purge flow (through solenoid valve 9)
ejects residual dust from the combustion tube.
