What your QC lab actually checks
O/N/H in metals by fusion
An 8.5 kW electrode impulse furnace melts the sample in a graphite crucible above 3,000 °C; oxygen is measured as CO₂ by infrared and nitrogen and hydrogen by a high-sensitivity thermal conductivity cell. A closed gas system feeds 100 % of the sample gas to the detectors for low detection limits — the oxygen and nitrogen numbers that decide quality in steel, titanium and metal AM powders. Single-element or ON, OH, NH and ONH modes cover the full range.

The ELTRA ELEMENTRAC ONH-p 2 determines oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen in metals and inorganic materials by inert gas fusion. The sample melts in a graphite crucible in a powerful 8.5 kW electrode impulse furnace at temperatures in excess of 3,000 °C; oxygen is measured as CO₂ in up to two infrared cells, while nitrogen and hydrogen are detected in their elemental form in a high-sensitivity thermal conductivity cell. A closed gas system feeds 100 % of the sample gas to the detectors for low detection limits — essential for O/N control in steel, titanium and metal AM powders.
Why metallurgy and AM labs choose the ONH-p 2
Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen in metals — the fusion numbers that govern quality.
O/N/H by inert gas fusion
An 8.5 kW electrode impulse furnace melts the sample in a graphite crucible above 3,000 °C — oxygen is measured as CO₂ by IR, nitrogen and hydrogen by thermal conductivity. Single-element or ON, OH, NH and ONH modes.
Closed gas system, low limits
A closed gas system under overpressure feeds 100 % of the released sample gas to the detectors, guaranteeing low detection limits and good reproducibility — with inexpensive argon possible as carrier gas.
Innovative sample port, up to 2000 mg
Solid pieces, granules or powder in capsules load up to 2,000 mg and are freed of atmosphere by pulsed carrier-gas flushing before dropping into the preheated crucible — robust against dust, no capsule closing required.
Powerful catalyst + Autocleaner
A copper-oxide catalyst fully oxidizes CO to CO₂ for reliable oxygen even on oxides; the optional Autocleaner removes furnace deposits for precise, high-throughput analysis, with a 32-position autoloader available.
How Additive Plus supports it
A configured, installed analyzer with an O/N/H method dialed in on your metals.
Configure to your samples
We spec the ON/OH/ONH mode, carrier gas, autoloader and Autocleaner to your alloy or powder and detection range before it ships.
Install & train
Factory-trained engineers install the analyzer, connect the three-phase power, gases and PC/balance, and train your team on the ELEMENTS software.
Method & QC support
We help build the SOP — gas calibration, crucible outgassing, blank control and a repeatable O/N/H baseline for your material.

From metallurgy and AM labs running the ELTRA ELEMENTRAC ONH-p 2
Unedited feedback from materials-QC teams.
Oxygen and nitrogen on steel with low detection limits. The closed gas system and Autocleaner keep our high-throughput runs reproducible.
We track oxygen pickup on titanium AM powder lot to lot. Up to 2000 mg means we can run representative powder samples.
Argon as carrier gas cut our running cost, and the sample port handles granules without closing capsules.
