HALO 3 HF

HALO 3 HF

The HALO 3 HF trace level hydrogen fluoride gas analyzer provides users with the unmatched accuracy, reliability, speed of response and ease of operation that users of Tiger Optics’ analyzers have come to know and expect. Featuring Tiger Optics’ proven Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy-based trace gas sensor in a very compact and economic analyzer design, this versatile instrument allows users to measure HF in most inert and passive gases with just one device. Users also enjoy freedom from requirements such as periodic sensor maintenance, span calibrations, purifier replacement and pump rebuilds. As a result, the HALO 3 is ideally suited to many applications where HF impurities are extremely critical, such as nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and fluorocarbon (CF4, C2F6, etc.) production and semiconductor utilization.

The HALO 3 HF offers:

  • Low single-digit parts per billion (ppb) detection capability
  • Absolute measurement (freedom from calibration gases)
  • Wide dynamic range
  • Low cost of ownership and operational simplicity
  • Clean technology—no external calibration gases required
  • Compact analyzer footprint

Applications

  • Gas Quality Control
  • Gaseous CRMs & Calibration Gas Mixtures
  • High-Purity Gases & Systems
  • Research & Development
