9.4 OXYMAT 7 / ULTRAMAT 7: Introduction of reference gas
9.4.1 Selection of the reference gas
9.4.1.1 OXYMAT 7
Note
Composition of the reference gas
Using an unsuitable reference gas can cause the reference gas throttle (capillary tube) to be
closed. The device is then no longer capable of measuring.
Therefore, use dust-free reference gas or a standard dust lter with a mean pore width of <5 µm
in the reference gas inlet.

Reference gas "Air"
Air only has a constant O
2
share if the humidity is constant. Therefore use dry air.
For measurements with measuring ranges of 2%, the exact O
2
share of the reference gas
"Air" must be known. Use this value as the setpoint for a zero point calibration.
Selection of the reference gas
The various measuring spans must have at least one common value. This value is then dened
as the "physical zero point" and applies to all the measuring ranges. The reference gas can be
selected on the basis of the "physical zero point".
