A mass spectrometer was developed for continuous automatic analysis of gaseous impurities contained in uranium hexafluoride. To offset the various difficulties involved in introducing UF/sub 6/ into the ion source, the uranium hexafluoride is held back in a mercury trap; the impurities alone are admitted into the ion source. A variable leak controlled by a high sensitivity Pirani gauge maintains a constant flow in the gas inlet line. The spectrometer is calibrated with gas of known composition. Mass scanning is provided according to a pre-selected program as provided by a 10point potentiometer-recorder. One mass is recorded every 24 seconds, the sensitivity being a few parts per million.
