Magnos206: Substitute gas calibration
Example
Substitute gas calibration of the Magnos206 analyzer module is described
using the example of "Purity measurement of CO
2
".
Purity measurement of CO
2
For CO
2
purity measurements, the smallest concentrations of O
2
are meas-
ured in CO
2
, e.g. 0 to 1 vol.% of O
2
in CO
2
.
Calibration with substitute gas
Since O
2
in CO
2
is not available as a test gas and due to the O
2
zero shift
caused by CO
2
, the analyzer module is factory-set for calibration with sub-
stitute gas.
In this case a measurement range for 0 to 25 vol.% of O
2
in N
2
is calibrated in
addition (N
2
and O
2
/N
2
mixtures are available practically everywhere).

Calibration
•
Calibrate zero with CO
2
(component 1) or N
2
(component 2).
•
Calibrate span with dried air (contains 20.96 vol.% of O
2
).
Other measurement tasks
For other measurement tasks select the test gases and measurement ranges
in a similar manner according to the sample gas composition.
