NATO Supply Class 6630 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, Class 6630 focuses on Chemical Analysis Instruments.

Chemical Analysis Instruments are used in laboratories and other scientific settings to analyze and measure the chemical composition of substances. These instruments are designed to provide accurate and precise results for various chemical analyses.

Some examples of Chemical Analysis Instruments that fall under NATO Supply Class 6630 include:

1. Spectrophotometers: These instruments measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, allowing for the analysis of substances based on their absorption or emission of light.

2. Chromatographs: Chromatography instruments separate and analyze the components of a mixture based on their different affinities for a stationary phase and a mobile phase.

3. Mass Spectrometers: Mass spectrometry instruments ionize and separate molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing for the identification and quantification of compounds.

4. pH Meters: pH meters measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution by determining the concentration of hydrogen ions.

5. Gas Analyzers: These instruments analyze the composition and concentration of gases in a sample, often used in environmental monitoring or industrial processes.

6. Titration Equipment: Titration instruments are used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by reacting it with a known reagent.

These are just a few examples of the types of instruments that fall under NATO Supply Class 6630. The class encompasses a wide range of chemical analysis instruments used in various scientific and laboratory applications.
