Gas density measurement

SF6-Quality-Analyser
Model GA11
WIKA data sheet SP 62.11

Applications
■■ Analysis of the SF6-quality in SF6-filled equipment
■■ Measures moisture, purity and SO2 or SO2/HF

Special features
■■ Integrated pump-back-function allows measurement in a
closed loop for zero emission measurement
■■ No internal pressure vessel, eliminates transportation
regulations (dangerous goods regulation)
■■ Dual power source: rechargeable battery and AC power
■■ Three operations modes for zero SF6 emissions:
- Pump back / up to 5 measurements possible with one
battery charge
- Using external bag for recovery
- Using external cylinder (up to 10 bar / 150 psig gaseous)
for recovery / up to 5 measurements possible with one

Description

WIKA SF6-quality-analyser is an innovative and cost effective Naming the measurements is simplified by importing a list of
way to determinate SF6-quality. It is equipped with three measuring points before starting to use the device.
sensors (SF6-%, moisture, SO2) to evaluate the moisture
content, concentration of decomposition products and purity Measurements are carried out in a closed loop. The operator
of SF6-filled tanks. can then decide whether he wants to pump back the used
gas (max. 9 barabs / 130 psig abs) or to store it a connected
Up to 500 measurements can be stored inside the inter- bag or cylinder (max. 9 bar abs / 130 psig abs).
nal memory and can be downloaded using an external
USB-Stick. The measured test values are automatically
interpreted according to Cigré, IEC or a customer specified
standard for SF6 contamination/reuse.
