- Sample Type & Phase
- Gas-phase samples for direct H2S and Total Sulfur measurement. The gas matrix must be reviewed for compatibility with the lead-acetate tape path and the dedicated heated hydrogen-conversion section.
- Measurement Range
- Confirm normal and maximum H2S and Total Sulfur concentrations, alarm points, required measurement sequence, and any high-concentration service. Project-specific dilution may be required.
- Sample Conditions
- Provide pressure, temperature, flow, moisture, condensate risk, particulates, corrosive components, sulfur-species profile, gas composition, adsorption risk, and contaminants that can affect tape chemistry, sample transport, or the conversion section.
- Sample Handling
- Define sample take-off, filtration, pressure and flow control, humidification, fast loop, stream selection, dilution, calibration routing, safe venting, and the dedicated heated conversion path used for Total Sulfur measurement.
- Installation Area
- Confirm backpanel, wall, rack, cabinet, or analyzer-shelter installation, ambient conditions, maintenance access, safe-area or hazardous-area classification, and required certification.
- Utilities
- Confirm electrical supply, sample gas, unrestricted safe vent, certified zero and span gases, hydrogen for the Total Sulfur conversion path, and instrument air or purge where required by the ordered installation.
- Response Requirement
- Define the required H2S and Total Sulfur update sequence, alarm response, process-control or quality-monitoring duty, and allowable sample-transport delay. Final response and cycle performance are configuration dependent.
- Integration Requirement
- Confirm the number and scaling of H2S and Total Sulfur 4-20 mA outputs, RS-485 Modbus settings, optional Ethernet or Modbus TCP, relay logic, DCS or PLC tags, historian requirements, and responsibility for wiring and signal mapping.
- Commissioning Requirement
- Verify the approved sample matrix and H2S/Total Sulfur ranges, sample conditioning, flow and pressure, safe venting, tape and humidification, heated conversion section, hydrogen supply, dilution if used, zero and span validation, outputs, communications, alarms, response, and handover documentation.
