Introduction
The Model MGA 6010 (see part numbers in the Parts List on page 44) is a Multi-Gas IR analyzer. It
measures Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) and Natural Gas (CH
4
) typically found in an
endothermic atmosphere. The measurement of these gases, combined with furnace temperature
information, allows the MGA 6010 to calculate the percent Carbon (%C) of the measured gas. A Hydrogen
(H
2
) sensor can also be incorporated as an option to provide a more complete picture of the measured
gas.
For nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) applications, the MGA 6010 can calculate carburizing
potential (K
C
) and nitriding potential (K
N
).
Finally, the MGA 6010 can be configured for compatibility with environments containing ammonia (NH
3
)
gas. NH
3
compatibility must be specifically requested when the MGA 6010 is ordered.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a MGA 6010 for gas analysis with NH
3
-containing gas if the MGA 6010 has not been
configured with NH
3
compatibility. Any use of a non-NH
3
compatible MGA 6010 with NH
3
-
containing gas will void the product warranty.
