What does the T90 response time of an analyser mean?

  • A.The interval at which 90 per cent of readings are within tolerance
  • B.The time to reach 90 per cent of a step change
  • C.The time the analyser can run at 90 degrees Celsius
  • D.The time to warm up from cold to 90 per cent of specification

Answer: B

T90 is the time from a step change at the probe until the reading has covered ninety per cent of the difference, and it includes transport delay in the line as well as the response of the detector itself. Regulations often specify a maximum, because a slow analyser cannot demonstrate compliance during short excursions. Long sample lines and large cell volumes are the usual culprits when the figure is poor, and reducing line diameter or raising flow is the usual cure.
