calibration gas

The main panel calibration gas used is butan-1-ol, which at a certain diluting gives 1 ouE/m3.

If one of the calibration gases has a wrongly assigned value the measurement of the target gas will produce the wrong result.

If the calibration gas is not representative, or calibrations are not routinely performed, there will be errors introduced.

All GCs have to be calibrated routinely with a calibration gas representative of the gas under analysis.

As detectors measure a gas concentration, the sensor responds to a calibration gas, which serves as the reference point or scale.

Almost every portable gas detector out there has a specific calibration gas requirement which is available from the manufacturer you purchased your monitor from.

Note, that the detection readings of an explosimeter are only accurate if the gas being sampled has the same characteristics and response as the calibration gas.

These calibration gases and other reference gases are compared periodically to determine the instrument sensitivity and to check for possible contamination in the air-handling system.

Total size, weight and transportability of the PEMS needs to be considered when testing at different locations, including any consumables such as calibration gases.

All measurements are referenced to standards maintained at CMDL which are tied to internationally recognized calibration gases.

An example of a daily target measurement is shown in Figure 2 where, during hour 21, the analyzer alternates between the three calibration gases and the target gas.

CryoService introduced its new range of CryoSpec calibration gas standards together with a range of accessories and an increased variety of cylinders, including disposables.

Any restrictions on transport of hazardous materials (I.E.Flame ionization detector (FID) fuel or calibration gases) need to be taken into the account.

In December 1983, CO2-in-N2 calibration gases were replaced with the currently used CO2-in-air calibration gases.

Calibration gases are prepared through HATS's Standards Program and measurements are coordinated with HATS's In Situ Station Program.

The standard CEM system consists of a sample probe, filter, sample line (umbilical), gas conditioning system, calibration gas system, and a series of gas analyzers which reflect the parameters being monitored.

A calibration gas is a reference gas or gas mixture used as comparative standard in the calibration of analytical instruments, like gas analysers or gas detectors, and therefore a calibration gas has to be of a precisely defined nature or composition, like zero gas or span gas.
