4.5.2.3  SETTING OF NORMALIZATION CONVERSION PARAMETERS 

Normalization Conversion 

The volume of gas varies depending on its pressure, temperature, etc. Therefore, when the 

pressure or temperature changes, the concentration of contained mercury also changes. 

The concentration is converted into a mercury gas concentration in the standard condition 

(generally  0

C  and  1  atm.)  so  that  it  is  not  influenced  by  a  change  of  a  pressure  or  a 

temperature. 

 

(1)

 

Select “MENU”. 

 

(2)

 

Select “Setting”. 

 

(3)

 

Press the arrow key to open “Measurement (2/2)”. 

       

 

(4)

 

At “Normal. Temp.”, set a reference temperature to be used for the normalization 

correction. 

Press the button on which a temperature has been displayed.
