Abstract

Pulsed NMR system for industrial purposes comprising sample throughput system (P, LI, V1, V2) magnetic field adjustment (120, 124) and thermal adjustment (134-138 and 142-146). The resonance is established by a coil (100), excited by a transceiver (104) and interacting with the sample and the magnetic field at resonance to establish received and digitized free induction decay curve forms (C) which are automatically analyzed into Gaussian and exponential components--providing simplified high speed computation means with repetitive test sequence and thermal controls that systematically minimize errors to assure reliable determination of target nuclei quantities in successive samples from an industrial process and utilizing Hahn spin echo based equipment to automatically adjust the analysis of one or more of the analyzed components.
