Figures: Offshore and onshore natural gas production plants. The special UT-3000-Tedlar setup
allows to measure Hg in natural gas and gaseous hydrocarbons fast and accurate.

Working with the UT-3000 Tedlar in the lab Sampling System for Natural
Calibration of the Analyzer Gas
System For sampling of natural gas under high

An easy to use calibration device is available specially designed sampling system has to be
as an accessory. It uses the principle of static used in order to reduce pressure and to
calibration with mercury saturated air. It is guide the sample from the sampling point to

devices does not require re-weighing. requirement for such a sampling system is
This calibration method is according to that it has to retain the mercury concentration
