  • Page 20: Interferometer Purge

    You can purge continuously or fill the interferometer with zero gas and measure in the field. GT5000 Terra enclosure is tight and will hold majority of the purge gas in the interferometer for hours. If you are performing extremely high accuracy measurements, purge for longer time or increase the zero gas flow to 2.0 l/min.

  • Page 21: Background Measurement

    Gasmet GT5000 Terra Instruction and Operating Manual 5.8. Background measurement Perform a background measurement with nitrogen every day before measurements.
