  • Liquefied petroleum gases: 1 mg/kg to 196 mg/kg total volatile sulfur

Its wide analytical range makes the AZA1300A an indispensable solution for research institutions, third-party inspection agencies, and industrial laboratories requiring rapid, accurate, and repeatable sulfur determination.


Advanced UV Fluorescence Technology

At the core of the AZA1300A is a state-of-the-art ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) detection system. Sulfur compounds in the sample are combusted at high temperature, converted to sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and excited by UV radiation. The emitted fluorescence is measured with high precision, ensuring accurate quantification even at trace sulfur levels.


Applications

  • LPG and natural gas sulfur testing

  • Refinery and petrochemical quality control

  • Environmental compliance monitoring

  • Research and development laboratories

  • Third-party inspection and certification agencies

  • Safety and regulatory sulfur analysis
