System Concept
HURRICANE is the most powerful instrument in the GasMix™ family — a fully automated gas mixer/diluter engineered to generate highly complex gas mixtures. It blends and dilutes up to 16 gases simultaneously (custom builds up to 20 channels on request), providing accurate, repeatable concentrations from percent down to trace levels.
Designed for advanced laboratories and industrial benches, HURRICANE removes manual calculations: the software computes dilution and span flows from your target concentrations, even for nested, multi‑step recipes. Sequences can be saved, recalled and executed automatically; the system supports remote control and analyzer synchronization, with complete Audit Trail for certificate generation.
By enabling on‑site preparation, the platform reduces the number of cylinders, optimizes gas consumption, helps manage cylinder expiry and significantly cuts operator bench time — enhancing productivity, safety and application flexibility.
Operation & Software
HURRICANE is driven by GasMix™ PC software, providing unified control of channels, flows and pressure conditions. The application calculates mixtures, applies multi‑point MFC calibration curves per gas matrix, and runs programmed dilution/injection sequences with event logging.
- Automatic blending/dilution for 6–16 channels
- Sequence builder with save/recall for routine procedures
- Analyzer synchronization and remote start capability
- Audit Trail, users/roles, reporting and export
- Options: automated flow regulator, heated tubing, inert version
Metrological Excellence
Every integrated Mass Flow Controller (MFC) undergoes 400‑point factory calibration across the full dynamic range and for each selected gas matrix (He, Ar, CH4, H2, N2, Air, …). This ensures superior linearity and precision, especially at very low and very high flow rates.
- NIST‑traceable calibration
- ±1% set point accuracy and <0.1% repeatability *
- Automatic K-factor calculation & correction
- Automatic uncertainty calculation, full QA/QC traceability with Audit Trail
- Certificate delivrance with concentrations & uncertainties
