4.1.14.2 Regulating the Calibration Gas Flow Rate
A temporary connection may be made for calibration purposes. However, if a permanent connection is preferred, it
should be as short as possible with an isolation valve right at the calibration gas inlet on the analyzer. See the typical
sample system in Figure 3 on page 3 for an acceptable arrangement.
Each CGA 351 is tagged with its optimum calibration gas flow rate, based on the testing performed during its factory
calibration. Typically, this value will be 400 ± 40 cc/min.
To set up for calibration complete the following steps:
1.
Begin the flow of calibration gas to the inlet port of the analyzer, at atmospheric pressure.
2.
Using the flowmeter and needle valve supplied with the analyzer, set the calibration gas flow rate to the tagged
value.
3.
Set the digital display to show the oxygen concentration in ppm (see “Configuring the Digital Display” on
page 16). At the standard operating temperature of 700°C, an oxygen level of 5 ppm corresponds to a raw sensor
output of 223.108 mV.
Note:
Air calibration at 20.9% O
2
/ 0.0 mV is performed during the factory setup. Field recalibration of this zero mV
point is seldom required.
Note:
For other temperature and/or oxygen values see Appendix A, The Nernst Equation, for the expected mV
output reading.
If the analyzer does not respond correctly at the tagged calibration gas flow rate (i.e. the oxygen concentration
reading is more than 5% in error), the problem is probably due to improper siting of the unit. Contact the factory for
assistance.
CAUTION!
Make sure the calibration gas flow rate does not exceed 1,200 cc/min (2.5 SCFH). Higher flow rates
may cool the oxygen sensor below the normal operating temperature and affect the accuracy of
measurements or even cause damage to the oxygen sensor.
The oxygen concentration reading in ppm should correspond to the certified oxygen content of the calibration gas
±5%. If the correct ppm reading is not obtained with the calibration gas, proceed to the next section to adjust the
calibration setting.
