Committing to Accuracy: Improved Conformance Testing of Gas Sorption Analysers

Feb 03 2016

Hiden Isochema has introduced a NIST traceable method for assessing the combined pressure, uptake and temperature measurements of gravimetric sorption systems.This rigorous conformance testing is applied to all new IGA and XEMIS series analysers and also during instrument servicing.

An in situ densitometry procedure is used to simultaneously determine mass and volume of an externally calibrated float. The volume is measured within 0.001 cc across the analyser pressure range and is equivalent to a 1 µg (microgram) air displacement at standard temperature and pressure.     

A specific tolerance is calculated from the test conditions and the sensor specifications of a given analyzer to yield a clear pass/fail condition for certification. The method also enables both the absolute combined accuracy and linearity to be quantified in specific operating conditions since it can be applied to any species including non-ideal gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

A test kit and accompanying software protocol is also offered for user conformance testing to suit the requirements of their site quality management system.

Hiden Isochema’s Managing Director, Dr Mike Benham, said: “The recent improvements in our conformance testing methods add further to the confidence Hiden Isochema, and in turn our customers, have in the accuracy of data measured using our gravimetric sorption analysers. This unprecedented tolerance level is a further demonstration of Hiden Isochema’s commitment to the quality of both our instruments, and our testing protocols.”
