Apparatus for analyzing the carbon content of metals
First Claim
1. An apparatus for analyzing the carbon content of a metallic sample by utilizing a furnace for burning the metallic sample to be analyzed in a current of oxygen so as to generate a gas and comprising a single non-dispersive infrared analyzer having a single detector means for detecting both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, said single detector means exhibiting substantially the same sensitivity to both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in said gas generated in said furnace.

Abstract
An apparatus for analyzing carbon in metals, in which a metallic sample is burned in a current of oxygen in a combustion furnace and the concentration of carbon contained in the metallic sample is calculated from the total concentration of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the gas generated in the combustion furnace, the concentration determined by means of a non-dispersive infrared analyzer. The non-dispersive infrared analyzer is provided with a detector which exhibits almost the same sensitivity to both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
