9. Calibration
9.1.3 Compensation
The deviation of a measured value from the theoretical cell electromotive force is
checked by the method in Figure 9.2 or 9.3.
Figure 9.2 shows a two-point calibration using two gases: zero and span. Cell electromo-
tive forces for a span gas with an oxygen concentration p1 and a zero gas with an
oxygen concentration p2 are measured while determining the calibration curve passing
between these two points. The oxygen concentration of the measurement gas is deter-
mined from this calibration curve. In addition, the calibration curve corrected by
calibration is compared with the theoretical calibration curve for determining the zero-
point correction ratio represented by B/A
ϫ 100 (%) on the basis of A, B and C shown
in Figure 9.2 and a span correction ratio of C/A
ϫ 100 (%). If the zero-point correction
ratio exceeds the range of 100
Ϯ 30 % or the span correction ratio becomes larger than
0
Ϯ 18 %, calibration of the sensor becomes impossible.

Factors using Zero and Span Gases
Figure 9.3 shows a one-point calibration using only a span gas. In this case, only the cell
electromotive force for a span gas with oxygen concentration p1 is measured. The cell
electromotive force for the zero gas is carried over from a previous measurement to
obtain the calibration curve. The principle of calibration using only a span gas also
applies to the one-point calibration method using a zero gas only.
