Abstract:
Many industries monitor atmospheric conditions to measure gas pollutants in humid environments. Varying levels of ambient humidity can interfere with gas monitors and sensors and diminish response factors. Calibration of gas monitoring and detection devices should relate to ambient conditions and include the percent relative humidity (%RH) consistent with surrounding areas. Creating various %RH levels in a zero-gas stream or a calibration gas stream can be challenging and ineffective if done improperly. A permeation system that supplies accurate calibration gas with controlled %RH at varying levels is an effective solution for calibrating or exposing monitors, detectors, and sensors at ambient conditions.
