The time constant of a Thomas sulfur dioxide analyzer was determined by measurements at various concentration levels. The arithmetic mean time constant was found to be 46.0 seconds with a standard deviation of 5.5 seconds. A study was made of the peak values observed when known concentrations of sulfur dioxide were injected into the sample air stream for periods of a few seconds to 200 seconds. The area
