How to Calibrate to True Conditions
Atmospheric detection devices such as gas monitors, gas detectors, or gas sensors require accurate calibration to prevent false readings or hazardous exposures. These devices are typically positioned where exposure to humidity can cause interference or degradation of detector response. To prevent inaccuracies or false readings, gas monitoring and detection devices should be calibrated to true operating conditions that include percent relative humidity (%RH) indicative of their environment. Gas cylinders provide a static gas blend and additional equipment, or multiple gas cylinders are needed to add various levels of %RH to the calibration gas for proper calibration. The entire process is further complicated when multiple gas standards or a range of concentrations are needed with and without %RH to truly test detector performance.
