Model 8800 NMHC NonMethane Hydrocarbon Analyzer

The Model 8800 NMHC is based on a flame ionization detector (FID) and catalyst. It is designed to measure the total, methane, and non-methane hydrocarbon content of gas samples. The analyzer can be configured with internal components for a single or multipoint analysis of ambient, non-condensing gas samples.

  • Automatic calibration
  • Electronic flow control of fuel, air & sample
  • Programmable virtual analog ranges
  • Automatic FID ignition
