Lag Time Calculation Sample

This document provides calculations for determining the lag time of process gas chromatographs and analyzers. It details equations that use parameters like line length, tubing volume, pressure, temperature, and flow rate to calculate lag time in minutes. An example calculation is shown for a specific analyzer tag number with inlet/outlet conditions and primary/secondary sampling system specifications. The results provide the volume, lag time, actual and normal flow rates for both the primary and secondary systems.
