DEC.CAL™
Calibration is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your gas analysis equipment (ATX™ modules).
The DEC.CAL™ have the right composition tailored for the precise measurement needs of Flame Ionization Detectors (FID), Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR), and Infrared (IR) analyzers. Thanks to the calibration bottles you will have the necessary zero and span gases for these sophisticated instruments.
Regular calibration ensures that your analyzers deliver accurate readings, which is vital in environments where gas composition directly impacts safety (e.g. LEL control systems), efficiency, and compliance (VOC emissions - see DEC.EMS™): many industries are governed by strict regulatory standards which require periodic calibration to verify instrument performance.
Calibration is not just a regulatory requirement but a cornerstone of operational integrity in gas analysis. Our calibration bottles (cylinders) are engineered to provide you with the precision and reliability needed for your FID, NDIR, and IR analyzers. Invest in our solutions for an effortless, accurate calibration process that keeps your instruments performing at their best.
FID DEC.CAL™
Zero Gas: Typically, pure nitrogen or synthetic air with zero hydrocarbon content is used to establish the zero point of your FID. This ensures no residual carbon atoms are ionized during a measurement, setting a baseline for detection.
Span Gas: A known concentration of methane, propane, or another hydrocarbon is used. These gases help in calibrating the detector's response to hydrocarbons, allowing for accurate quantification.
NDIR and IR DEC.CAL™
Zero Gas: often CO2-free nitrogen or air, used to calibrate the zero point where no IR-absorbing gases should be present, providing a baseline for measurements.
Span Gas: include specific concentrations of IR-absorbing compounds. For NDIR analyzers, the choice of span gas is based on the specific molecule being measured, as different hydrocarbons might have different absorption spectra.
