Acoustic gas analyzer development and manufacture /

The acoustic gas analyzer is an electro-acoustic type instrument which measures the velocity of sound in binary gas mixtures and translates this measurement into terms of mol faction of one component of the gas. It is most sensitive and accurate for gas pairs whose constituents have large differences in molecular weight. The measurement is independent of gas pressure."Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant operated by Union Carbide Nuclear Company, Division of Union Carbide Corporation for the Atomic Energy Commission acting under U.S. government contract W7405 eng 26.""Date of Issue: February 4, 1959 ; Report Number: K-1240 ; File Number: S-255; RES 1732 ; Subject Category: Instruments."Includes bibliographical references (p. 59).The acoustic gas analyzer is an electro-acoustic type instrument which measures the velocity of sound in binary gas mixtures and translates this measurement into terms of mol faction of one component of the gas.
