GENERAL

This kit contains the necessary parts and instructions to verify the performance of the
MIRAN SapphIRe Analyzer. The stated accuracies of the gas concentrations are not valid
beyond the expiration date appearing on the gas tank label. The gas concentrations have
been deliberately chosen to permit safe operation; the levels are at or below the
corresponding action levels and are further diluted immediately upon release to the
atmosphere.

INTRODUCTION

The field performance check kit consists of a gas mixture containing nitrous oxide, sulfur
hexafluoride and balance zero air. The nominal concentrations and their tolerances are:
Nitrous Oxide (N
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF
The mixture is contained within a small gas cylinder of approximately 1 liter in volume at
a total pressure of approximately 150 psig (compresses 11 liters of gas at atmospheric
conditions to 1 liter at 150 psig). At this pressure there is sufficient gas to perform at least
one complete calibration check.
Caution: Observe the caution printed on the tank label concerning storage temperature
(maximum = 130°F). Always orient the tank discharge point away from the face and
body. Wear safety goggles or safety glasses when using this accessory.
