The Nova FLEXI-NOVA Series Platform has been designed for continuous gas measurements in applications and environments that are less intensive. Lab work, research, clean processes, pre-treated / pre-cleaned produced gases, and others, may benefit from the FLEXI-NOVA series.

Depending on application, some light-duty sample conditioning features may be available. For clean process measurements, percent and ppm-level SO2 gas.

All sensors / detectors are temperature-controlled or temperature-compensated for maximum analytical stability. Easy calibration using touch-screen controls. Serial Output Package allows connection & data-logging to personal computers via a choice of USB / RS-232 / RS-485.

Cabinet: NEMA 4 cabinet with Hazardous Area Purge System; available for Class 1 Div1 & Div2 hazardous areas

Unique Applications

N/A Nova 460 / 461 analyzers are suitable for clean dry process gases only. Some gases may interfere with SO2 measurement; complete information on sample gas composition is required. All Nova analyzers are built using proven technologies and techniques. If this product does not suit your application, please contact Nova at 1-800-295-3771. In many cases, we are able to build an analyzer specific to your needs.
