Pyrotec Pyrolyzer 860
GASTEC Pyrotec Pyrolyzer 860 for Fluorocarbons & Fumigants
Thermal Cleavage. Precise. Detect Inert Halocarbons On-Site.
The GASTEC Pyrotec Pyrolyzer 860 is a portable, battery-powered thermal conversion instrument engineered to crack chemically inert halogenated hydrocarbons—such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), anesthetic fluorinated gases, and sulfuryl fluoride—into reactive inorganic compounds. By thermally cracking the inert gas molecule right before it enters a GASTEC detector tube, it enables simple, direct-reading field measurement of gases that otherwise cannot be detected colorimetrically.
Catalytic Thermal Decomposition
Internal high-temperature heating element cleanly splits inert C-F and C-Cl molecular bonds.
Battery-Powered Field Portability
Runs on standard dry-cell or rechargeable batteries for complete freedom across field sites.
Rapid Heating Warm-Up
Reaches target catalytic pyrolysis temperature in approximately 2 minutes with LED ready indicator.
Measures Difficult Halogenated Gases
Enables detector tube measurement for R-134a, R-22, R-123, Halon replacements, and Sulfuryl Fluoride.
Direct In-Line Assembly
Mounts seamlessly between the air intake and the GASTEC GV-100S manual sampling pump.
Heat-Shielded Safe Casing
Thermal insulation protects operator hands while maintaining concentrated internal filament heat.
Thermal Cleavage Workflow. Making the Undetectable Measurable.
Power On & Pre-Heat
Switch on the Pyrotec 860; wait approximately 2 minutes until the green Ready LED illuminates.
Attach Tube & Pump
Connect the appropriate GASTEC detector tube to the Pyrotec outlet and connect the GV-100S pump to tube rear.
Draw Sample & Read
Pull the pump handle; inert target vapor is drawn through the heater, pyrolyzed into reactive gas, and read on tube.
Catalytic Quartz Chamber
Concentrates high thermal energy within a corrosion-resistant quartz glass pyrolyzing filament.
Stoichiometric Conversion
Guarantees a highly consistent, reproducible conversion ratio for precise direct scale interpretation.
In-Line Safety Filter
Integral thermal baffle cools the gas stream before it reaches the reagent bed to protect chemistry.
Structural & Commodity Fumigation
Monitors Sulfuryl Fluoride (Vikane / ProFume) concentrations during termite and pest quarantine treatments.
HVAC & Refrigeration Leak Audits
Locates and quantifies refrigerant gas leaks (R-134a, R-22, R-410A) in industrial chillers and cold stores.
Fire Extinguishing Halon Alternatives
Tests total flooding fire suppression gaseous systems (HFC-227ea, FM-200, Novec 1230) post-discharge.
Semiconductor Wafer Etching
Detects exhaust duct leakage of fluorinated greenhouse gases (CF₄, C₂F₆, SF₆) in fab cleanrooms.
Hospital Operating Theaters
Measures waste anesthetic fluorinated gases (Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane) in surgical suites.
Chemical Recycling & Reclamation
Verifies purity and recovery efficiency of reclaimed fluorinated solvent drums.
