ABSTRACT:

An automatic sampling-control-analysis system, suitable for continuous unsupervised operation, has been developed for on-line analysis of reaction products in the vapor phase. Reliable control over the gas sampling, analysis and data acquisition was achieved and the required safety features were incorporated. Sophistication was achieved at only a relatively small capital outlay.
