2.4 Gas Requirements
Instrument Air is required for zeroing of the Infrared Analyzer. It must
be free of oil, particulates and water vapor (that will not condensate,
unfiltered plant air is not recommended). A supply pressure of 10-50psig
with a typical flow rate of 0.1 to 0.6 SCFH (50-250 cc/min) is needed.
Bottled gas is recommended (air or Nitrogen) if high quality air is not avail-
able.
For accurate calibration, the analyzer requires blended gas mixtures
certified to +/- 2% accuracy.
