Rapidox SF₆ 6100 Portable Gas Analyser

The Rapidox SF₆ 6100 Portable is designed for controlling and monitoring the quality of SF₆ in MV & HV gas insulated electrical equipment. Exceptional accuracy and stability are provided when measuring the purity of SF₆ gas, through specially selected sensors. A gas output nozzle allows for the analyser to be attached to the Rapidox Gas Recovery Bag, ensuring that all sampled SF₆ gas is recovered.

Internal SF₆ gas pressure is recorded and logged by the analyser. All measured gases are analysed and data-logged simultaneously with only a few minutes required to achieve a stable reading. In order to accelerate the time taken in-between dew point readings, a unique Rapidri system is fitted to analysers measuring H₂O. When not in use the sensor can be isolated via the ‘Run – Storage’ valve.

Other measurable gases include H₂O (dew point), SO₂, HF, O₂ & CF₄. Due to the instruments modular design, a number of configurations are available in order to suit a variety of application requirements.
