Teledyne API – Model T400 Photometric Ozone Analyzer Getting Started
57
an Internal Zero Span (IZS) or an external zero air scrubber option, it is capable of
creating zero air. For analyzers without an IZS or external zero air scrubber option, an
external zero air generator such as the Teledyne API Model 701 can be used
CALIBRATION (SPAN) GAS
Calibration gas is a gas specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the
type of gas being measured at near full scale of the desired reporting range. Because
ozone (O
3
) quickly breaks down into molecular oxygen (O
2
), this calibration gas cannot
be supplied in precisely calibrated bottles like other gases.
If the T400 analyzer is not equipped with the optional internal zero air generator
(IZS), an external O
3
generator capable supplying accurate O
3
calibration mixtures
must be used.
Also, some applications, such as EPA monitoring, require multipoint calibration
checks where Span gas of several different concentrations is needed.
In either case, we recommend using a Gas Dilution Calibrator such as a TAPI
Model T700 with internal photometer option.
In the case of O
3
measurements made with the Model T400 photometric ozone analyzer,
it is recommended that you use a span gas with an O
3
concentration equal to 90% of the
reporting range for your application.
EXAMPLE:
If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppb, an appropriate
span gas would be 450 ppb.
If the application is to measure between 0 ppb and 1000 ppb, an appropriate
span gas would be 800 ppb.
