Complete outstanding quality and functionality are delivered through METTLER TOLEDO's comprehensive range of laboratory balances and analytical instruments that provides users with flexibility and precision.
Gas Chromatography (GC) Testing Systems from PAC are designed for accurate and repeatable determination of hydrocarbon compositions in liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) and light hydrocarbons, in full compliance with ASTM D2504, D2505, and related international standards. These systems provide highly reliable results for identifying and quantifying components such as propane, butane, and lighter fractions in gaseous and liquefied samples.
Built with a focus on analytical precision, the GC system utilizes an advanced chromatographic column configuration optimized for hydrocarbon separations. The instrument delivers outstanding peak resolution and sensitivity, allowing laboratories to detect trace components with high accuracy. Each measurement ensures complete separation of hydrocarbons with minimal baseline noise, ensuring consistent and reproducible data for process control and quality assurance.
The system’s thermal stability and precise temperature control are central to maintaining analytical integrity. Equipped with temperature-programmable ovens and stable flow controllers, the GC ensures reliable retention times and repeatable analysis cycles, even under varying sample conditions. Its high-efficiency detector enhances quantitative performance for complex LPG mixtures and volatile organic compounds.
Designed to handle both gaseous and liquefied samples, the GC system incorporates robust sample introduction modules and precision-engineered valves. This enables accurate injection, vaporization, and controlled flow without loss of volatile components, guaranteeing representative analysis of the full sample composition.
The system’s operation software offers comprehensive automation for method control, data acquisition, and results reporting. Analytical parameters, calibration routines, and integration functions are easily managed, providing full traceability and compliance with laboratory quality systems. This facilitates simplified workflows for laboratories dealing with multiple test protocols under ASTM and ISO guidelines.
Engineered for long-term stability, the system’s components are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for LPG and hydrocarbon applications. This design minimizes maintenance needs and enhances uptime, making it ideal for continuous laboratory or on-site operation in the petrochemical and refining sectors.
The GC Testing System supports multi-channel detection and multiple analytical configurations, providing flexibility for laboratories testing various sample types and compositions. This adaptability allows users to expand their analytical range, covering C1–C5 hydrocarbons and heavier fractions with high repeatability.
In addition to precise quantitative results, the system ensures full compliance with global analytical standards. Its integration of automated calibration and validation routines provides confidence in measurement accuracy, supporting process optimization, product certification, and regulatory compliance in the energy and petrochemical industries.
