Selecting the reference

Your reference should have a concentra-
tion or flow equal or close to what is to
be measured.

Instrument specification is valid for con-
centrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 times
the leak alarm level in the range 0.5 to
100 ppm.

Example for reference gas:
Leak Alarm Level is set at 8 PPM.

A reference gas mix containing 8 ppm
hydrogen in synthetic air will give best
accuracy.

For good accuracy, reference gas should
be within +/- 50% of leak alarm level.

In this example it means 4 to 12 ppm
Hydrogen.

Concentration of hydrogen should always
be within 2 ppm to 400 ppm.

Example for reference leak:
Leak Alarm Level is set at 2.0E-4 atm.cc/s

A reference leak calibrated to 2.0E-4 cc/s
will give best accuracy.
