Method selection
Infrared vs coulometric sulfur analysis
Choose from your actual sulfur range, sample matrix, daily volume and maintenance capacity—not cycle time alone.
| Decision factor | Infrared · RI-IRS3600 | Coulometric · RI-S320 / RI-DFS220 |
|---|---|---|
| Typical analysis time | ~120 seconds | 3–5 minutes |
| Listed sulfur range | 0.01–20% | 0.01–40% |
| Best fit | High-throughput routine samples | High-sulfur or complex matrices |
| Automation | 24-position automatic weighing and feeding | 20-position or 25-position robotic configuration |
| Maintenance consideration | Routine optical and gas-path checks | Electrolyte and electrode maintenance |
Practical rule: mostly routine mid-to-low sulfur samples with high volume → evaluate infrared first. Frequent high-sulfur or difficult matrices → evaluate coulometric. Mixed workloads may justify both methods, subject to sample-method verification.
