It is designed to take economic advantage of production in quantity and utmost simplicity of construction without sacrifice of desirable features. Its sensitivity and accuracy are sufficient for most laboratory determinations. Type B-2 is a compact filter photometer for chemical analyses in the routine or control laboratory. Molybdenum, titanium, vanadium, or manganese in steel; lead, copper, iron, or vita mins in foods are a few typical determinations to which this type lends itself. It is a barrier-layer instrument consisting of basically a low The basic parts are mounted in an attractive plastic case for voltage light source, an adjustable light aperture, a three-color convenient manipulation and reading. A constant voltage filter holder, receptacles for tubular or rectangular absorption cells, a single photoelectric cell, and a sensitive current transformer to supply constant intensity of light when operated measuring instrument with a 2}/¡“ scale. The scale reads from on a controlled frequency power line is furnished with the 0-100 in 50 divisions. 115 volt AC instruments.
