Extractive Gas Analysers

SICK GMS800

Gas analysis for process and emission monitoring

The GMS800 is an extractive gas analyser manufactured by SICK which can measure over 60 different gas compounds and is used for process and emission monitoring.

SICK GMS800 is typified by its modular design: 6 analysing modules, one gas module, I/O modules and an operating unit. Standardised 19″ racks can be used for economic system integration. Wall mounting enclosures with an ATEX approval for use in hazardous areas can also be used for applications within rough industrial environments.

Equipped with modern software, the GMS800 comes with the required interfaces for remote control via networks through to the connection to a process control system.

Typical Applications for SICK GMS800 Gas Analysers

Emission monitoring according to EN 15267 and process gas measurements, including in potentially explosive atmospheres
Emission monitoring of very low concentrations
Measurement of smallest concentrations of NO, NO₂, and SO₂
NO_x monitoring by direct measurement of NO and NO₂
Measurement of sulphur compounds in process gases
CO monitoring for explosion protection
Measurement of smallest concentrations in hydrogen or hydrocarbons
