Importance of Gas Analysis
Economic Value• Natural Gas (calorific value)• Chemical process industry (ethylene,etc.)• Electronic industry (reactive gases, H2O)• Food industry and health care (purity, composition)
Environmental regulations• Industrial stack emissions (NOx, SO2, HCl, etc.)• Automotive gases (CO, CO2, C3H8, NO)• Occupational hygiene (VOC, particles)• Ambient air quality (Benzene, O3, CH4, N2O, VOC,
etc.)
Legislation• Breath Analysis (ethanol)• Odor Control (n-butanol)

Start of Traceability Chain (I)
For static gas mixtures, the traceability chain starts with a primary realisation of the definition of the mole fraction or amount of substance fraction for a specified chemical entity.

Primary Realisation of mol/mol
A primary realisation (PSM) of the amount fraction in a static gas mixture involves (ISO 6142:2001):
accurate weighing (incl. buoyancy correction) of pure parent gases (or liquids) in a clean high pressure cylinder (uc ≈ 0.001-0.1%)
Impurity analysis of the parent gases/liquids
Analytical verification of the composition against a coherent set of primary standards (uc ≈ 0.05-1%)
Stability testing
Problems: low amount fractions (nmol/mol) for reactive gases, sorption on cylinder wall, isotopic variation, phase separation

Start of Traceability Chain (II)

N.B. Pressure and temperature need to be defined as well!
Usually, permeation, diffusion or injection of a pure gas in a flowing gas stream produces the primary realisation.

CCQM-P23
• CCQM-P23 used mixtures of CO/N2 at three amount fractions 50,000 1,000 and 10 mmol/mol.
• In the first phase these were all analysed by NDIR at NMi (The Netherlands)
• Evidence was found for 13C/12C variations in pure CO and for an influence of the 13C/12C ratio on the NDIR signal. Extreme outliers from KRISS (Korea) and NIST (USA)
• In the second phase two sets of mixtures were re-analysed:– 50,000 mmol/mol by NIST (USA) using GC/TCD – 1,000 mmol/mol by Metas (Switzerland) using GC/FID

GLS for GC-TCD versus Gravimetry
• Conclusions for 50,000 mmol/mol– Std dev of residuals is 1mmol/mol (0.002% rel)-
after excluding two outliers– At 50,000 mmol/mol, the gravimetric values are
very consistent within their stated uncertainties.
