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.
