9.4 OXYMAT 7 / ULTRAMAT 7: Introduction of reference gas
The following example with four measuring ranges illustrates this:
Table 9-2
Measuring range
17 to 22% O
15 to 25% O
0 to 25% O
0 to 100 % O
Exception: If the smallest measuring span is ≥ 5% O
amounts to no more than 16 % O
range. The purity of the reference gas has to be appropriate for the measuring task.
9.4.1.2
ULTRAMAT 7
In an analyzer module without physically suppressed zero point, meaning with characteristic
initial value of zero, use nitrogen as the reference gas (purity 4.6).
In an analyzer module with a physically suppressed zero point, use an appropriate reference
gas. The concentration of the reference gas generally corresponds to the characteristic initial
value or, in special cases, the full-scale value or intermediate values.
In order to compensate for interference, the reference gas compartment can be subjected
to the purified sample gas of the measured component (absorber mode) or gas out of the
cylinder, which corresponds to the average interference gas composition.
9.4.2
Requirements for reference gas from the gas cylinder
The reference gas pressure must be 2 000 hPa above the sample gas pressure for sufficient
measuring ability.
1. Use a reference gas line with the following characteristics at measuring spans of < 2% oxygen:
– Small cross-section, e.g. pipe diameter 2 mm
– Made of metal, e.g., stainless steel
2. Flush the reference gas line thoroughly with reference gas before commissioning.
9.4.3
Introducing reference gas
• Set the flow of sample gas and reference gas to the same level.
• Always introduce the reference gas before introducing the sample gas.
