AMI OXYGEN ANALYZER CALIBRATION USING SPAN GAS
REQUIRED COMPONENTS:
• Certified span gas with approximately 80 ppm oxygen in background of nitrogen
• Stainless-steel or brass body pressure-reducing regulator that is outfitted with inlet/outlet pressure
gauges, with the outlet port being a compression fitting for ¼” tube (note: the regulator must have
a diaphragm, made from one of the following materials – best option: stainless steel, secondary
option: aluminum, or tertiary option: brass)
• AMI-supplied flexible (non-diffusive) tubing or a length of stainless steel tubing
• Tank wrench

IMPORTANT: Prior to calibrating with span gas, the Analyzer and sensor should have had sample gas flowing through them for a minimum of 45 minutes!
IS THE SPAN FACTOR BETWEEN 400-600
IF SPAN FACTOR IS HIGHER THAN 600 RPLACE SENSOR
