Abstract: 25,046. Schmid, A. Nov. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Gas analysis. - An apparatus for testing flue or furnace gases is constructed in one piece and comprises a reservoir and a measuring- vessel connected by a measuring - tube. Absorbing-liquid is placed in the reservoir 1, and the gas passed through the vessel 3 by opening the cock 9 and allowing the excess to escape through the bore 6 in the lower cock 4. When the apparatus is filled with gas, the cock 9 is closed, and the cock 4 reversed, and the apparatus inverted so that absorbing - liquid flows into the vessel 3. The apparatus is shaken to absorb the gas, and the absorbing-liquid afterwards returned to the reservoir 1 and the cock 4 closed. The cock 9 is opened when the tube 8 is under water, which enters to compensate for the gas absorbed. The amount is read off on the scale 2, on reversing the apparatus, and this reading gives the percentage of gas absorbed.
