Elemental analyzer

Abstract

In order to provide an elemental analyzer that, without providing a buffer tank, can cope with measurements of a low concentration sample to a high concentration sample on the basis of a simple configuration, the elemental analyzer is provided with: an extraction furnace 1 adapted to heat a sample contained in a crucible R, and gasify an element contained in the sample into sample gas; an introduction flow path L1 adapted to introduce carrier gas into the extraction furnace 1; a lead-out flow path L2 adapted to, from the extraction furnace, lead out mixed gas in which the sample gas and the carrier gas are mixed; an elemental analysis part 3 that is provided in the lead-out flow path L2 and analyzes elements contained in the mixed gas; a bypass flow path L3 that branches from the introduction flow path L1 and joins the lead-out flow path L2; and a valve 4 that is provided in the bypass flow path L3 and can adjust an opening level.
