Agilent Big Hydrocarbon Trap, 1/4in fittings BHT-4

The Agilent BHT-4 Big Hydrocarbon Trap is a 750 cc hydrocarbon gas purifier with 1/4-inch fittings designed to remove organic/hydrocarbon contaminants from carrier and detector gases. Manufacturer specifications list a 17.5 in length, 2.3 in diameter and a maximum working pressure of 250 psig. It is intended for use upstream of GC detectors (for example FID) and GC columns to protect instrument performance, extend column life, and provide bulk purification for one or several instruments plumbed from a common gas source.

Key Features:

• Gas filter type: Hydrocarbon
• Fitting size: 1/4 in
• Length: 17.5 in
• Diameter: 2.3 in
• Trap capacity: 750 cc
• Maximum pressure: 250 psig
• Substance concentration (rated): 0.1 ppm

Advantages:

• Removes hydrocarbons and organic contaminants to maintain correct FID/detector performance and reduce false signals.
• High 750 cc capacity suitable for bulk purification or servicing multiple instruments from a single gas source, reducing maintenance frequency.
• Robust, leak-minimizing design and rated pressure (250 psig) support reliable installation in laboratory gas lines.
• Helps extend GC column and instrument lifetime by preventing hydrocarbon contamination of columns and detector systems.
