ALIBRATION
Span gas is specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the type of gas
being measured at near full scale of the desired measurement range. Because ozone (O
quickly breaks down into molecular oxygen (O
in precisely calibrated bottles like other gases.
If the T400 analyzer is not equipped with the optional internal zero air generator (IZS), an
•
external O
Also, some applications, such as EPA monitoring, require multipoint calibration checks
•
where Span gas of several different concentrations is needed.
In either case, we recommend using a Gas Dilution Calibrator such as a TAPI Model T700
•
with internal photometer option.
In the case of O
it is recommended that you use a span gas with an O
reporting range for your application.
EXAMPLE:
If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppb, an appropriate span gas
•
would be 450 ppb.
If the application is to measure between 0 ppb and 1000 ppb, an appropriate span gas
•
would be 800 ppb.
