TrueTube for Process/Emissions Analyzers
High Performance Tubing for Process and Emissions Analyzers
TrueTube® is a family of tubing products developed to provide best-of-breed performance in sample transport for process and emissions analyzers. O'Brien Analytical starts with select ASTM grade tubing and enhances its physical characteristics to improve dry-down, adsorption and corrosion resistance. We do this by controlling surface roughness, cleanliness, surface chemistry and reactive contaminants.
Surface Roughness
Surface roughness contributes to adsorption / desorption problems associated with analyzer sample lines. The microphotographs below illustrate one of the differences in tube material and selection. Surface roughness is only one factor to consider when specifying sample tube material. However, like other choices in sample system components, it can improve or limit the repeatable accuracy of the entire system.
Cleanliness and Reactive Contaminants
The O'Brien Analytical TrueTube® process removes drawing oils and other contaminants that are often present in commercial grade tubing. At the same time surface iron is removed and the tube is left with an enriched Cr/Fe and CrO/FeO ratio which contributes to corrosion.
