Abstract:
The last 15 years have shown an increasing need for coatings to improve analytical results obtained from systems used for mercury and sulfur sampling. As a result of increased regulation, sampling system performance must be rugged and stable, even in challenging and corrosive environments, while also reliable in order to meet frequent calibration inertness checks. To meet these stringent standards, the use of coatings has been specified or highly recommended. The data presented here will compare the stability of ammonia and NOx compounds on a variety of surfaces. Additionally, this presentation will address and summarize reports to-date on how coatings have been used to effectively improve the accuracy and reliability of sampling systems across several applications. Many industries have unique challenges that are solved by high durability, inert coatings that are designed to enhance chemical compatibility.
