Bacharach 0010-5106 - Fyrite Classic, Measures O2, 0 to 21% and CO2, 0 to 7.6%

Fyrite employs the well known "Orsat" method of volumetric analysis involving chemical absorption of a sample gas, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), or oxygen (O2). The reagent used to absorb CO2 is potassium hydroxide (dyed red). Chromous chloride (blue) is the absorbent for O2. The unique feature of Fyrite is that the absorbing fluid is also used as the indicating fluid so that one vessel takes the place of both measuring burette and absorption pipette.

The Fyrite body is molded of clear, high-strength plastic, has top and bottom reservoirs, and has a center tube connecting the two reservoirs. The bottom reservoir is filled with the absorbing fluid, which extends about 1/4 inch into the bore of the center tube when the instrument is held upright. The scale position is mounted to one side of the center tube and is adjustable.
