19.2 Meter Multiplication Factors for Sensepoint XCD-IR Propane

It is possible to apply a linear cross reference factor to the output of a sensor characterized
for propane and achieve the results shown in the graph below.
Reasonable accuracy is maintained to at least the 50% LEL equivalent values of the
cross-referred gasses.

Diagram 18. Sensepoint XCD-IR (Propane) Sensor with linear cross-reference factor
Use the following multiplying factors to cross-refer to the propane reading:
Caution: These factors only apply to gas concentrations expressed in % Volume terms.
When using a linear cross reference factor the temperature compensation is
based upon propane, and there may be errors at temperatures away from the calibration
NOTE
Honeywell Analytics recommends that users verify the accuracy of their instruments using
test gasses wherever possible. Cross-referred measurements should be used as a guide
only, not as absolute values.
