Abstract
The present invention provides an acoustic cell for determining the composition of gas mixtures. The acoustic gas composition analysis cell has transducers acoustically isolated from the cell body through the use of an acoustic isolation material positioned at least between the transducers and the transducer housings to produce a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 4 to 1. Additionally, the transducers employed in the acoustic cell operate in the kilohertz range, reducing attenuation in the gas mixture being analyzed. The cell body employs vacuum seals which permit the use of the cell in line with vacuum equipment.
