Typhoon | Gas-phase process spectroscopy cell

Typhoon™ Vapour Phase Process Flow Cell

The Typhoon™ is a single-pass gas cell for NIR process spectroscopy. It has Swagelok fittings to permit gas flow into the cell and utilises SMA 905 fiber optics as standard. Installed on fast by-pass loops directly on the plant, the Typhoon gas cell allows for real-time remote monitoring and control. Superior optical design, state-of-the-art sealing technology and rugged construction are combined with precision manufacturing to ensure many years of reliable, high performance.

Swagelok process connections: generally 1/4" size but others available.
Pathlengths: cells can be built with pathlengths of 10 cm and upwards.
Sapphire optics: for NIR spectral range.
Factory-aligned optics: ensures optimum measurement stability throughout the lifetime of the cell.

Single-pass gas cell that is defined by the length of the body between the optical windows.
A choice of body materials are available for the customisation of your flow cell. We manufacture in Stainless Steel 316L as standard but Hastelloy® C276, Titanium, Zirconium 702, and other grades of Stainless Steel are available upon request.
Window sealing materials are generally perfluoroelastomers such as Kalrez, Polymax, or Viton of various grades.
To ensure optimum NIR spectroscopic absorption features for gas analysis, optical transmission pathlengths are available from 10 cm and up. Standard lengths include 20 cm, 30 cm, and 50 cm.
Specac process cells can be connected remotely to the widest choice of commercially available FT-NIR spectrometers using standard SMA 905 connectors.
Protective hoods are fitted as standard to protect the fiber connections.
By using highly polished sapphire windows and optimized flow patterns the risk of window fouling in raw chemical process streams is greatly reduced.
