There are known gas interferences to a limited number of chemical compounds. Scott
Safety attempts to identify possible gas interferences to which gas sensors may be
exposed; however, not all chemical compounds that presently exist have been tested.
Table 21
provides known toxic gas interferences.
Table 21
does not show, nor should it be implied, that no additional interferences may
occur. These selectivity ratios are used as guides only. They are not to be used as
calibration factors. The gas species' actual cross-sensitivities may vary from the
values shown.
Keys for
Table
•
Zero – Indicates tested and confirmed no interferences
•
Blank – Indicates not tested
•
Neg – Indicates gas produces a negative signal
•
Two values in a cell – Indicates initial peak and finish offset (unstable or transition
gas) and should not be used for cross calibration
