phx42 FID ANALYZER

Hydrocarbons are a common organic compound—made through organic matter decomposition—found throughout the petrochemical industry.
While a valuable natural combustion and energy source, these hydrocarbons are also quite hazardous to the human body. Hydrogen, ethane, heptane, and more hydrocarbons are known to cause respiratory, liver, and kidney complications. Thankfully, having a quality FID analyzer, commonly known as a Toxic Vapor Analyzer or TVA*, at your chemical plant can greatly reduce the risks associated with hydrocarbon exposure.
Our phx42 FID monitor is the latest flame ionization detector designed to perform Method 21, SOR/2020-231, EN 15446 inspections, HAZMAT, Emergency Response and many other types of total hydrocarbon(VOC) detection.

*This is a misnomer, but also a term the industry has accepted to describe portable FIDs.
Entirely controlled by a wireless hand-held. phx42 also includes powerful datalogging software that can be used to create electronic records of inspections. Also Connects to Chateau Mobile as well LeakDAS and Guideware Mobile LDAR Software.
Major improvements have been made to the control of Hydrogen. Manual adjustment will no longer be needed.
phx42 is still an FID, but the upper range has been raised drastically over phx21 and the TVA1000b/TVA2020.
Certified per the following applicable standards: FM/UL (United States), CSA (Canada), ATEX (European Union), IECEx (USA, Canada, China, Saudi Arabia, and more). This allows the use of phz42 to comply with Method 21, SOR/2020-231, and EN 15446.
12 years of working with phx21 and hundreds of customers have paved the way to phx42.
Able to run with external H2 and Power indefinitely. No need to swap H2 cylinders. Automatic logging is included when Android Device is connected when using the free phxApp. Note: not for use in hazardous locations as the power supply is not certified.
Negative values are represented in a specific manner, avoiding confusion and ensuring accurate readings.
Calibration tables are edited in real-time to maintain accuracy in the event a phx42 is calibrated under contaminated conditions, resulting in negative ppm values for more than 1 minute. Accuracy is maintained by correcting all calibration points for any leftover VOCs.

Special Features

PUMP THROTTLING & DEADHEAD DETECTION

Pump throttling maintains a consistent sample flow–particularly when the filter has been partially blocked.

DATA & ANALYZER FEEDBACK

Log files are recorded every 2 secs, on the mainboard, including battery voltage, high & low pressure H2 levels, ppm, pump power, exhaust pressure and thermocouple temp. SDKs also available for common platforms so you can build your own Flame Ionization Detector inspection software.

RUGGED

There has never been a more rugged Portable Flame Ionization Detector. An all-aluminum case protects the fragile internal components and guarantees a long service life.

FLEXIBLE

For an additional charge, components can be hand-selected and flows optimized to operate in Oxygen-free environments. Check out the ZOM model for more info.

FILTER DETECTION

phx42 is able to detect if a filter is in place, and will not let you monitor if the filter is missing. Certain conditions apply.

PORTABILITY

Even smaller and lighter unit, the phx42 makes life a little easier for the technician.

BATTERY

A state-of-the-art battery has been developed, which extends service life. The warranty has been increased from 90 days to one year.
