6.5 Permeation Tube
NO
2
- nitrogen dioxide - is normally a gas at room temperature and pressure, but can be liquified
at moderate pressures. The permeation tube consists of a small container of NO
2
liquid, with a
small window of PTFE which is permeable to NO
2
, see Figure 6-1. The gas slowly permeates
through the window at a rate in the nanogram/min range. If the tube is kept at constant
temperature, usually about 50
°
C, the device will provide a stable source of NO
2
gas for a year or
more. See below for permeation tube ordering information.
The NO
2
concentration is determined by the permeation tube specific output (ng/min @ 1 slpm
@ 50
o
C), the permeation tube temperature (
o
C) and the air flow across it (slpm). The specific
output in ng/min is a fixed function of the permeation tube and is noted on shipping container.
The ng/min units can be converted to ppb units by the following equation:
