WMA-5 CO2 Gas Analyzer

The WMA-5 is our 5th generation CO2 gas analyzer designed for applications that demand a high degree of accuracy and control with minimal maintenance.

The design of the WMA-5 ensures inherent calibration stability that has been confirmed by over 35 years of experience in gas analysis technology. It features a non-dispersive, infrared measurement technique coupled with microprocessor-based signal processing resulting in precise measurement of CO2. Our innovative “Auto-Zero” technology and insulated, thermostatically controlled optical bench ensure fast warm-up, long-term stability, accuracy, and analyzer calibration. It also minimizes the effects of sample cell contamination, IR source aging, changes in detector sensitivity, and pre-amplifier gain.

The WMA-5 can be supplied with two different optical benches calibrated specifically to the range required. One bench is optimized for measurement ranges of CO2 up to 30000 ppm and another for ranges above 30000 up to 100000 ppm. For users that want to recalibrate the gas analyzer to a new level, this can easily be achieved as long as it is within the range for that particular optical bench.
