Don't know if this made the trip while Clayart was down, so sending again.

Bill,
=3DA0I think it was you who was asking about the Bacharach. =3DA0 I wrote P=
ete
Pinnell and though he is away at at MISSA (outside of Victoria, BC)
giving a workshop, he took time to search and send me info.
Bacharach Fyrite 0-20% CO2 analyzer Pete said: =3DA0"For our
high-temperature work, the gasses much go through a mullite or alumina
tube into a coil of copper to cool it down before it enters the Fyrite
(so the really hot gasses don't reach either the rubber tube or the
liquid). I just put that together myself from stuff I found."

You can find a basic kit on Ebay for under a hundred dollars if you
are patient. (same with pyrometers. When mine broke in Mashiko, I
bought two double sensor Flukes for under under $50.00 for both.)
