100 mm Temperature Controlled Gas Cell
Part Number 162-20XX
The 100 mm long stainless steel cell is designed for collecting
gas spectra at elevated temperatures, decomposition studies
and measurements of gas evolving from heated samples. The
cell is 100 mm long, has a diameter of 38 mm (15 mm aperture)
and is sealed with two 38 mm IR windows (purchased
separately). High temperature O-rings are used to seal the
windows (upper temperature range 300 °C). Gas is introduced
through a high quality stainless steel compression fitting and
the cell can withstand pressures up to 100 psi. The cell features
a stainless steel body resistant to most gaseous samples. Heat is
applied by a heating mantle surrounding the gas cylinder and
monitored by a single thermocouple. The cell mounts directly in
the sample compartment of the spectrometer via a dedicated
baseplate. Optional high temperature purge tubes may be
ordered separately.
INSTALLATION
Using a 3/32” hex wrench remove two stainless steel retaining
rings and glass windows provided for cell protection during
shipment. Replace the glass windows with appropriate IR
windows (must be ordered separately). Reattach and screw
down the stainless steel retaining rings. Please make sure that
the windows and the retaining rings are positioned in the same
order as when shipped.
Remove the original baseplate from the spectrometer’s sample
compartment. Position the Heated Cell in the spectrometer.
Connect one end of the provided cable (d-shaped connector)
to the Gas Cell and the other end (three prong plug) to the back
panel of the temperature control unit. Attach gas transfer lines
(if used).

OPERATION
The temperature controller is factory preset to work with the
heating module. Turn the unit on and adjust it to the desired
temperature. For additional functionality and detailed setup
information please refer to the Watlow User’s Manual
supplied with the control unit. Operation of the computer
controlled system and its software is explained in a separate
PIKE TempPRO Manual provided with this particular
configuration.
SAFETY
The maximum temperature of the accessory can reach
300 °C. The cell components are insulated and the
temperature of the outer shell should not exceed 80 °C.
Nevertheless, extreme caution should be used when operating
the cell, as some components, e.g. retaining rings, fittings and
windows cannot be insulated. These components may be
extremely hot. They may cause severe burns when touched.
Please allow enough time for the metal parts to cool down
and check the cell temperature on the control unit display
before working with the gas cell or removing it from the
spectrometer. Power cord selected must comply with
IEC60320 C13 type connector. No poisonous or injurious gases
should be analyzed without a proper venting hood.
A hot surface (>80 °C) is indicated
by the following symbol on the cell:
