The Model 4020 utilizes a flame ionization detector (FID) for the continuous trace analysis of total hydrocarbons (THC) under a variety of different process conditions. The principle of operation is based on measuring the ion current generated when organic compounds are dissociated in an intense hydrogen flame.

The 4020 is ideal for monitoring hydrocarbon contamination in high purity bulk gases. When coupled with Teledyne's unique separation column, the 4020 is also diverse enough to be applied in hazardous locations for the detection of volatile hydrocarbons in cooling water for process leak detection and environmental compliance.
