Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a very small amount of hydrogen or moisture by a method wherein hydrogen separated by an analyzing column is converted to moisture by an oxidizing catalytic pipe, the moisture is converted to acetylene by a calcium carbide pipe and sent to a hydrogen flame ionizing detector. CONSTITUTION:This apparatus is provided with an analyzing column 1, an oxidizing catalytic pipe 4 connected to the discharging side of the column 1, a calcium carbide pipe 6 connected to the discharging side of the pipe 4, and a hydrogen flame ionizing detector 8 connected to the discharging side of the pipe 6. One end of the analyzing column 1 is connected to an inert gas source 3 via a sample feed port 2. Hydrogen separated by the column 1 is converted to moisture by the catalytic pipe 4 and then sent into the calcium pipe 6, where it is converted to acetylene. The moisture separated by the column 1 is, passing through the catalytic pipe 4 as it is supplied to the calcium pipe 6 and converted to acetylene. The acetylene discharged from the calcium pipe 6 is detected by a sensor 8 which is highly sensitive to an inorganic substance.
