The application data sheet: what to send us, and why we ask

Every good recommendation starts with the same questions. The data sheet asks them once, in the right order.

Quick answer

The application data sheet collects the pre-order design inputs an engineer needs: the measurement points and gases, ranges, sample pressure, temperature and dew point, dust and corrosives, area classification, utilities, outputs and calibration approach. Fill in what you know and leave the rest; we ask for the missing items. Your draft saves in your browser as you go, and you can print or send it when ready.

After this lesson you can
  • Know what the data sheet asks and why each item matters
  • Fill it in with partial information
  • Understand how it is used

What it asks, and why

GroupWhy we ask
Company and contactTo reply and to know who will use the instrument
Application and purposeControl, protection or certification changes the design: What is online gas analysis? A plain introduction
Measurement points and gasesTo choose the analyser and range for each stream
Composition and backgroundTo check interferences and the binary assumption for thermal conductivity: Cross-Sensitivity and interference in gas analysers
Sample conditionsPressure, temperature, dew point, dust, tar: they decide the sample system: How to design a gas sample handling system
Area and siteClassification and ambient limits decide the enclosure: Hazardous area classification: zones, gas groups, T-Classes
Utilities, outputs and calibrationTo complete the installation: Site utilities checklist for gas analysers

It handles up to four measurement streams in one sheet.

Send what you have

You do not need every answer. A partial sheet with gas, range and process is already enough to start. We ask for the rest, and often the answers to our questions help you decide too. Mark unknowns as unknown rather than guessing.

How it works

  • Fill it in online; your draft saves in your browser so you can return later.
  • A completeness indicator and checks against the catalogue limits warn you early.
  • Print it, or send it to us with attachments; you receive a reference number.
  • We reply with questions or a recommendation.

Drafts stay on your device until you press Send. See the privacy page for what is stored.

What happens next

  1. An applications engineer reviews it.
  2. We check the sample against the analyser's limits: What samples an analyser cannot take: know the limits.
  3. We propose an analyser and sample system, or say what we cannot do.
  4. We discuss the sample, calibration and support before you order.

Start now

Open the sheet: application-data-sheet. Or use the analyser selector for a quick indication first: analyser-selector.

In short
  • The data sheet collects the design inputs an engineer needs.
  • Send what you have and leave the rest.
  • Drafts save in your browser until you send.
  • An engineer reviews it and replies with questions or a recommendation.

Check your understanding

Answer in your head or on paper first, then open the answer. Recalling an answer teaches more than rereading.

Why does the data sheet ask for background gases?

To check interferences and the assumptions of the measurement principle.

Do I need to fill in every field?

No. Send what you have and we ask for the rest.

Where is your draft stored before you send it?

In your own browser only.
