A portable flame-ionisation hydrocarbon analyzer with an extended measuring range, reporting methane and non-methane fractions separately for compliance work.
Key features
- Separates total hydrocarbon, methane and non-methane hydrocarbon results.
- An extended measuring range supports higher-concentration emission sources.
- The portable configuration combines battery power and onboard gas handling.
Applications
Built for emissions compliance and fenceline monitoring teams.
- Widely used for total hydrocarbons, methane and non-methane total hydrocarbon detection in stationary pollution sources and ambient air.
Choosing the right configuration
Specify the target species, measurement range, zero and span equipment, sample conditioning, shelter or rack arrangement, communications, and reporting method as one monitoring system. ConductScience reviews the site and calibration plan before quoting.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures total hydrocarbon across an extended range, split into methane and non-methane fractions. It is built for emissions compliance and fenceline monitoring teams. It is designed for continuous, unattended operation in a monitoring shelter or cabinet, with periodic zero and span calibration.
What measurement principle does it use?
Flame ionisation with an extended measuring range, reporting methane and non-methane fractions separately. The extended range matters where a source can swing between fenceline concentrations and near-source concentrations without the operator changing instruments.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists twelve confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include FID detection limit at 0.1 ppm and Sampling probe temperature at (0-180)℃ adjustable.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm siting and inlet configuration, zero and span gas supply, the calibration interval your reporting regime requires, and the data acquisition and reporting path. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
A zero air generator and a multi-point dilution calibrator. Every concentration this analyser reports is measured against its zero. A zero that is not actually zero is a systematic error in every number downstream of it, so the calibration gear is not an accessory, it is what makes the readings defensible.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
