The microprocessor-based XMTC is a compact, rugged, online thermal conductivity transmitter that measures the concentration of binary gas mixtures including hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, helium and many others. The analyzer also combines computer enhanced signal measurement with fast-response software, real-time error detection and digital communication via an RS232 or RS485 interface.
The XMTC measures the concentration of a gas in a binary gas mixture by measuring the thermal conductivity of the sample gas and comparing it to the thermal conductivity of a selected reference gas.
The XMTC-62-11-0 General Electric Thermal conductivity binary gas transmitter may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The XMTC can be used in a wide variety of industrial applications where it is necessary to measure the concentration of one component of a binary gas mixture. It can also be used in pseudo-binary gas mixtures where the ratio of concentrations of the background gas components remains constant, and in gaseous mixtures where the thermal conductivity of the gas of interest is significantly different from that of the background gas. Some typical industries and applications include:
• Metals industry
H2 in heat treat furnace atmospheres
• Electric power industry
H2 in generator cooling systems
• Gas production industry
Purity monitoring of argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, helium
• Chemical industry
H2 in ammonia synthesis gas
H2 in methanol synthesis gas
H2 in chlorine plants
• Food industry
CO2 in fermentation processes
Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization
• Steel industry
H2 in blast furnace top gas
• Petroleum industry
H2 in hydrocarbon streams
Two very common applications are:
• H2 in N2 in heat treat furnace atmospheres:
Zero-based 0-25% H2, 2-port
(sealed reference gas, air)
• H2 purity in H2 electricity generator cooling:
Zero-suppressed, 80-100% H2, 4-port
(flowing reference gas, 100% H2)
