Gas Analyser – A Guide to Calibration

Your Gas Analyser needs to be calibrated on an annual basis. This can be done at Klipspringer’s in-house, UKAS accredited laboratory, with calibrations typically taking 2-3 working days.

To assess the accuracy of the unit in between these calibrations, you can use the Ambient Calibration Function to check the accuracy of the unit against a known air sample. For example, O2 is typically 20.9%.

You can also use the instrument’s in-built Calibration Interface to check the accuracy of the unit against a certified and known gas mixture.

This can be achieved by using 1/8” tubing from the gas regulator to connect a gas cylinder to the ‘Sample In’ fitting on the Calibration Interface.
