Abstract
A method for providing a calibration test gas sample includes identifying a first test canister containing a standard test gas including an ionic gas. A chemical formulation of the standard test gas includes a cation and an anion. The method further includes replacing the first test canister with a second test canister containing an improved test gas. A chemical formulation of the improved test gas includes a replacement atom comprising one of a heavier isotope of one of the cation and the anion.
Claims5
A method for providing a calibration test gas sample, comprising:
- identifying a first test canister containing a standard test gas, wherein the standard test gas comprises standard hydrogen sulfide;
- and
- replacing the first test canister with a second test canister containing an improved test gas, wherein the improved test gas comprises a deuterated variant of hydrogen sulfide,
- wherein hydrogen sulfide in the improved test gas is isotopically enriched in deuterium compared to hydrogen sulfide in the standard test gas, and
- wherein the second test canister has a concentration of the deuterated variant of hydrogen sulfide that is equivalent to a concentration of the standard hydrogen sulfide in the first test canister.
A method for providing a calibration test gas sample, comprising:
- identifying a first test canister containing a standard test gas, wherein the standard test gas comprises standard ammonia;
- and
- replacing the first test canister with a second test canister containing an improved test gas, wherein the improved test gas comprises a deuterated variant of ammonia,
- wherein ammonia in the improved test gas is isotopically enriched in deuterium compared to ammonia in the standard test gas, and
- wherein the second test canister has a concentration of the deuterated variant of ammonia that is equivalent to a concentration of the standard ammonia in the first test canister.
A method for providing a calibration test gas sample, comprising:
- identifying a first test canister containing a standard test gas, wherein the standard test gas comprises an oxidizing agent;
- and
- replacing the first test canister with a second test canister containing an improved test gas, wherein the improved test gas comprises an isotopically enriched variant of the oxidizing agent that is enriched in a heavier isotope of an atom in the oxidizing agent as compared to the oxidizing agent in the standard test gas, and
- wherein the second test canister has a concentration of the isotopically enriched variant of the oxidizing agent that is equivalent to a concentration of the oxidizing agent in the first test canister.
