Concentration overview of the gas mixture diluted from a calibration gas source containing nine species (second column) in comparison with the measurement results (fourth column).
Compound Name | Calibrated Concentration (ppmv) | Diluted Concentration (Expected, ppmv) * | Measured Concentration (ppmv) ** |
---|---|---|---|
Ethylene | 5000 ± 25 | ~19.5 | 19.5 ± 1.73 |
Ethanol | 100 ± 0.5 | ~0.39 | 1.55 ± 0.38 |
Acetaldehyde | 100 ± 5 | ~0.39 | 1.82 ± 0.64 |
Methanol | 100 ± 1 | ~0.39 | 0.71 ± 0.19 |
Ethyl-acetate | 100 ± 1 | ~0.39 | 0.60 ± 0.10 |
Acetone | 100 ± 0.5 | ~0.39 | 0 |
1-propanol | 100 ± 1 | ~0.39 | N.A. |
2-butanone | 100 ± 5 | ~0.39 | N.A. |
Propylene | 100 ± 1 | ~0.39 | N.A. |
Propionaldehyde | 100 ± 5 | ~0.39 | N.A. |
* The uncertainty is obtained by taking the standard deviation of 18 independent measurements with one-minute averaging time. ** Dilution performed by injecting 20 mL of the calibrated source containing nine volatile species into a larger volume of 5.1 L N2 at atmospheric pressure.
