Calibration Gas

A gas with a known oxygen concentration is used for calibration. Normal calibration is performed
using two different gases: a zero gas of low oxygen concentration and a span gas of high oxygen
concentration. In some cases, only one of the gases needs to be used for calibration. However,
even if only one of the gases is normally used, calibration using both gases should be done at
least once.
The zero gas normally used has an oxygen concentration of 0.95 to 1.0 vol%O
nitrogen gas (N
and free of oily mist or dust, as in instrument air).
For best accuracy, as the span gas use oxygen whose concentration is near the top of the
measurement range, in a nitrogen mixture.

Compensation

The deviation of a measured value from the theoretical cell electromotive force is checked by the
method in Figure 9.5 or Figure 9.6.
Figure 9.5 shows a two-point calibration using two gases: zero and span. Cell electromotive
forces for a span gas with an oxygen concentration p1 and a zero gas with an oxygen
concentration p2 are measured while determining the calibration curve passing between these
two points. The oxygen concentration of the sample gas is determined from this calibration
curve. In addition, the calibration curve corrected by calibration is compared with the theoretical
calibration curve for determining the zero-point correction ratio represented by B/A x 100 (%) on
the basis of A, B and C shown in Figure 9.5 and a span correction ratio of C/A x 100 (%). If the
zero-point correction ratio exceeds the range of 100 ± 30% or the span correction ratio becomes
larger than 0 ± 18%, calibration of the sensor becomes impossible.
