Emerson released the Rosemount QX1400 continuous gas analyzer to support quality, purity, and emissions monitoring. The new platform improves upon the previous QX1000 model by adding robust certifications for hazardous location use.
Why it matters
The analyzer allows energy and industrial operators to maintain precise measurement capabilities in high-risk zones. By combining multiple detection systems, the device ensures compliance in environments where safety protocols are critical.
The QX1400 uses a paramagnetic oxygen detection system paired with a quantum cascade laser for other gas analysis. This update succeeds the QX1000 model and holds international certifications including ATEX II 2G Ex d IIB H2 T4 and IECEx Ex db IIB+H2 T4 Gb.
The players
Emerson
Emerson is a global technology and engineering company that provides innovative solutions for customers in industrial, commercial, and residential markets.
The details
