Carbon-/ Sulphur-Analysis with Shuttleloader
The CS744 LECO instrument measures total carbon, organic carbon and sulphur contents. The analysis is performed by heating 0.1 g of homogenised material in a ceramic dish and measuring the resulting CO2 and SO2 in IR cells, which provide carbon and sulphur contents.
Carbonate content (Ccarb) is determined following two steps. First, total carbon content is analysed in one sample. Then, carbon content is measured in a sample that was pretreated with hydrochloric acid to remove carbonates. Ccarb-content is then calculated from these two measurements.
The instrument works according to standard test methods, such as ISO 9556, ISO 10719, ASTM E1941, ASTM E1019, ASTM E1941 and the international equivalences.
