Gas analysis is the process by which the qualitative and quantitative composition of gas mixtures is established. The measuring device for such an analysis is called a gas analyzer .
Conducting analytical data is used to explore the environmental state of the environment ( natural gas analysis), monitor the technological parameters of products of the chemical, petrochemical, gas industry, as well as when searching for natural deposits of oil and gas, and in special cases, gas analysis is used to determine toxic and flammable or explosive gases in the air of industrial premises.
For the analysis of gases using the method of mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry is a physical method based on measuring the mass of charged particles of matter, used to analyze a substance for almost 100 years, starting with the fundamental experiments of John Thomson in 1912.
