Combustion analysis is a well-accepted standard technique for the determination of the amount of carbon and sulfur in many materials including steel, cast iron, copper, alloys, ores, cement, ceramics, minerals, and carbides.
Our LECO CS-244 is a simultaneous carbon/sulfur determinator based on the combustion-infrared absorption method. Sample is combusted in oxygen that converts the carbon and sulfur in the sample to CO2 and SO2. The carbon and sulfur is then determined by infrared absorption.
