Abstract:
For decades, silicon-based coatings have enabled accurate trace-level quantification of chemicals that otherwise pose analytical challenges to the stainless steel construction of most sampling system flow paths. Engineers now desire similar coating solutions for non-steel materials like aluminum, nickel-copper alloys (Monel®), and more, especially as supply chains for stainless steel parts have become strained. This presentation introduces new advancements in substrate compatibility of CVD coating technology and related performance data in process analyzer applications. Coating capabilities of Monel and aluminum substrates are highlighted, and the analytical performance of CVD-coated tubing is compared to that of electropolished tubing.
