Test Gases

7.2.1.1

Zero Gas

For zeroing, the analyzer has to be purged with nitrogen (N
or conditionned air (but not for O
.
7.2.1.2

Span Gas

The calibration of all another analyzers should be done with pure span gases in order to prevent
interferences between the gases (e. g., CO
mixtures.
The concentration range of the span gas has to be in a range of 80 - 100 % (70 - 110 %) of the
full - scale range of the respective measuring channel. For lower span gas concentrations the
measuring accuracy could be lower for sample gas concentrations, which are higher than the span
gas concentration! For test gas concentration see certification of the test gas bottles.
Spanning for oxygen measurement can be done using conditionned ambient air as span gas, if
the oxygen concentration is known and constant.
To calibrate the MLT 1 ULCO internal H
water vapor saturated N
through a gas-blubber bottle, filled with distilled water and in a little bit higher ambient temperature
as necessary Connect a second vessel into a kyrostat (to hold ambient temperature constant) in
series to get defined dew point.
Max. permissible gas pressure: 1,500 hPa, except instruments for gas purity
measurement (see chapter 5.4.3.1), with integrated valve blocks (see page 5-8) and/or
paramagnetic Oxygen sensor (see table page 20-4)!
An constant input pressure (± 70 hPa or ±1 psig) between 1,500 to 3,000 hPa (20 to 43
psig) is necessary for sample gas as well as for zero gas and span gas because of
internal pressure regulator (different input pressures look at order confirmation).
All calibration gases need to be kept to the same temperature as sample gas!
The calibration of MLT 1 ULCO must be done using pure test gases.
