Compressed
Breathing Air Analysis Kit
Model 8014BAK |
| Description |
 |
The Matheson Model
8014BAK is an on-line analysis kit for ensuring the quality of
compressed breathing air. It quickly and easily measures the
levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oil mist, water
vapor, and oxygen. |
| Unlike other methods,
there is no need to take a grab sample and analyze it off line;
the 8014BAK is designed to connect directly to the compressed
breathing air source. It is available with a choice of three
connections--CGA 346, CGA 347, and 1/4" NPT Female. |
| It is very important
that the correct connection type be selected to match the
application: |
| The Model 8014BAK-01 is
fitted with a CGA 346 connection, and is rated for inlet
pressures of 0-3000 psig. This model should be selected for
analyzing compressed air in U.S. D.O.T. approved cylinders with
a Stamped Service Pressure in the range of 0-3000 psig. |
| The Model
8014BAK-03 is fitted with a CGA 347 connection, and is rated for
inlet pressures of 3001-5500 psig. This model should be selected
for analyzing compressed air in U.S. D.O.T. approved cylinders
with a Stamped Service Pressure in the range of 3001-5500 psig. |
| The Model
8014 BAK-02 is fitted with a 1/4" NPT Female connection,
and is rated for inlet pressures of 0-400 psig. This model
should be selected for analyzing compressed air from
non-cylinder sources having pressures no greater than 400 psig. |
| CAUTION:
Adapters must not be used which connect a high pressure source
to equipment rated at a lower pressure. |
| Some Typical
Applications |
| The Model 8014BAK is
ideal for anyone involved with the filling, generating, or usage
of compressed breathing air. It has been proven through use in a
variety of industries and applications. |

| Principle
of Operation |
|
The Model 8014BAK system
is essentially comprised of a pressure regulator, flowmeter, and
a variety of detector tubes. |
| In
operation, measurements are made by passing the breathing air
through each detector tube at a specified flow rate, pressure,
and time interval. Each detector tube is formulated with a high
purity reagent which absorbs and reacts with the component being
measured. This causes a colorimetric stain whose length is
directly proportional to the amount of component in the
breathing air. Its concentration can be read directly from the
scale printed on each tube. |
