KIN-TEK instruments include:

I. Laboratory Gas Standards Generators

491MB Gas Standards Generator (shown at right) [brochure], 491M Modular Gas Standards Generator [brochure], Span Pac™ Lab Gas Standards Generator, and Span Lab™ Complex Mixture Generator [brochure].

The 491MB Gas Standards Generator is a semi-portable workhorse. It has a single oven, yet is able to generate up to eight simultaneous chemical concentrations (with compatible disposable permeation tubes).

The 491M Modular system [brochure] consists of the 491MB base module plus one or more add-ins (total of six modules) including additional ovens [brochure] (six maximum), gas feed [brochure], secondary dilution [brochure], direct gas blending [brochure] and humidification [brochure].

The Span Pac™ Lab Gas Standards Generator is used to generate span check and calibration gas (on-demand or daily zero/span checks and periodic multi-point calibrations) with disposable and refillable permeation tubes. The generators come in single oven (Model 61), dual oven (Model 261) and triple oven (Model 361) models. Additionally, the Model 71 is a single oven unit that can use gas-fed refillable permeation tubes, disposable permeation tubes and liquid-filled refillable permeation tubes.

The Span Lab™ Complex Mixture Generator [brochure] is manually controlled and consists of six ovens with independent temperature control, and with up to eight permeation tubes per oven. This instrument is used for maintaining multiple customer applications (e.g., single-oven projects) or for generating a complex gas mixture using multiple ovens with a large number of components. The gas output of each oven can can be independently added to the output stream. Up to four expansion units can be added, each with six ovens for a total of 240 chemicals [(base TO14 unit + 4 expansion units) x 6 ovens per unit x 8 tubes per oven). Optional secondary dilution extends the total mixture to sub-ppb concentration levels. Additional options include humidification and an interface module. The interface module allows adjustment of the ouput pressure from ambient to 40 psig and is used where the customer's device under test mandates either a steady or injected sample stream (via the syringe port), or where back pressure is required to introduce the sample.

II. Industrial Gas Standards Generators

Span Pac™ I Series [brochure]. The purpose of the Span Pac I Model Series is to generate check/calibration gas (on-demand or daily zero/span checks and periodic multi-point calibrations). Similar to the Span Pac™ Lab series, models in this industrial series are housed in a NEMA 4 cabinet and include single oven (Model Span Pac 61-I), dual oven (Model 261-I) and triple oven (Model 361-I) models. Options include X-purge and Z-purge capability for Class 1, Division I, Group C and D and Class 1, Division II, Group C and D, respectively.

III.Field Portable Gas Standards Generators

Span Chek™ Portable Calibrator [brochure] for "bump-checking" field diffusion-fed sensors and other sensors and instruments.

IV.Moisture Gas Standards Generators

Trace Moisture™ Lab Series include: Span Pac™ 61 H20, Span Pac™261 H20 [brochure], Span Pac™ H20-WD, Span Pac™ H20-WD/SD and Span Pac™ H20-R.

Industrial Series include Span Pac™ 61-I-H20, Span Pac™261-I-H20.

The Span Pac™ H₂O instruments work on a differential principal. Calibration is based on the change in analyzer response caused by the addition of a known water vapor concentration from a Trace Source™ H₂0 permeation tube to a flowing stream of background gas (which may also contain some moisture). This differential method overcomes the "no zero” problem, and the problem of the background gas affecting the response. Water vapor flow from the permeation tube is measured gravimetrically, and is traceable to NIST. This technique provides a close approximation to a primary standard, even in situations where primary standards are not available.

Special care in design, construction and choice of components minimizes errors due to atmospheric contamination and interactions with other materials in the system.

Industrial versions (Span Pac™ 61-I-H20, Span Pac™261-I-H20) are housed in a NEMA 4 cabient for service in harsh, nonhazardous environments.

V. AUTOBLEND™ Complex Gas Mixture Generator

The AUTOBLEND Gas Mixture Generator [brochure] runs under the direction of Windows-based AUTOBLEND™ software and generates complex gas mixtures from one to a large number of compounds (48 maximum) where the concentrations can be independently varied with respect to each other. This instrument is fully automatic.
