Performing a Gravimetric Calibration

Gravimetric Calibration Overview

1.

Reset the gravimetric and volume accumulators.

2.

Insert a new (sealed) gravimetric cassette.

3.

Measure in the specific location for approximately four to eight hours.

4.

Proceeding the measurement, the gravimetric accumulator on the EVM will display the amount of dust that has accumulated based on the active profile. (This value is used in conjunction with the weight of the measured dust in the cassette.)

5.

To determine the weight of particulates in the gravimetric filter, remove the gravimetric cassette and weigh the contents. (Typically, sent to a lab for results.) Do not include the weight of the cassette.

6.

To determine the correction factor, calculate the ratio between the particulate mass value and the weight from the gravimetric filter lab analysis.

 For example , let’s say that you measured for 8 hours in a wood shop and the

PM mass accumulator displays 10 mg. Next, you measured the dust in the gravimetric filter/cassette and determined the weight as 20 mg. To calculate the correction factor, you divided 20 mg by 10 mg and determined the value as 2.

Lastly, the correction factor of “2” is multiplied by the existing active profile correction factor, and is entered as the new correction factor (Setup\PM\EDIT

PROFILE).

Performing a Gravimetric Calibration

screen (see “ Setting Profiles ” section for

more details).

Pump Flow Rate Calibration

An accurate flow meter, such as a primary standard flowmeter calibrator, and inert tubing is required to perform this calibration. The inert tubing is inserted on the dust air flow outlet (located on the back of the housing).

 NOTE : You may want to send the instrument in for a yearly calibration, if you do not own a flowmeter calibrator for this calibration procedure.

How Sensors Operate

Power is automatically applied to the gas sensors when they are connected and the instrument is turned on. These are also referred to as “intelligent-sensors”. Additionally, the EVM will automatically identify the type of gas sensor that is installed.

 NOTE: It may take a few minutes for a newly inserted sensor to stabilize before using.

Quality Calibrations

The quality of the calibration process depends upon the accuracy of the calibration gas and allowing the sensors to stabilize before saving the zero and span calibrations.

About Sensors and Cal Storage

Once a calibration is completed and a sensor is removed, the calibration records are stored in the sensor.

Calibration History and Sensor Serial Numbers

After running, saving a calibration, and downloading the data to Detection Management Software

(DMS), the calibration type, levels, the serial numbers, and the date/time of the calibration are viewable in the software. The serial number of the sensor is available in DMS in the calibration history chart.

Calibrating Toxic Gas Sensors

It is recommended to conduct a zero cal and a span cal with toxic gas sensors. Essentially, a calibration is conducted by checking the sensors response to a known concentration of a certified calibration gas. It is important to note that with a zero cal and a span cal, you should be in a non-contaminated environment when performing the calibration.

It is recommended to calibrate on a regular basis for best results. You will want to perform a zero cal and a span cal (or adjustment) to properly calibrate a toxic sensor.

Important

The zero and span adjustment procedures for oxygen are different than other gas sensors.

EVM Series User Manual

57 Placement and Calibration of Sensors

Calibrating Toxic Gas Sensors

Caution

Due to the presence of toxic gas during the calibration process, appropriate safety procedures should be followed.

Additionally, you will want to ensure that your calibration is performed in an area known not to contain hazardous or interfering gases if ambient air will be used as the zero gas for operation. If this is not possible, pure bottled air (Nitrogen is recommended) should be substituted. Instructions for both procedures are provided below. You only need to perform one or the other.

Toxic Gas Zero Calibration

When conducting a zero cal for toxic gas, you will want to use a cylinder of Nitrogen or pure air with the cal cup placed over the air inlet cover. (See “Applying a gas sensor” for details).

 NOTE: If you are in clean air environment, you can use room air (for all toxics except for ozone).

Ozone Calibration for Zero and Span

For an Ozone calibration, a zero calibration is performed with Nitrogen and a span calibration is performed using an ozone generator.

 NOTE: It is recommended to factory calibrate the ozone sensor on a yearly basis.

 Performing a Zero cal for toxic gas

While the instrument is powered off, connect the pure air cylinder, regulator, inert tubing, and cal cup to the EVM.

PID parts per million (ppm) zero calibration

It is preferred to flush the PID ppm sensor with Zero Grade Air for a zero calibration. Alternatively, you may flush the PID ppm sensor with Nitrogen. In clean environments (with no presence of toxic chemicals, such as in a school setting with no toxic cleaners present) applying room air can be used to set your zero calibration point.

For the flow rate, it is recommended to set it at 1 L/min for best response time.

PID parts per billion (ppb) zero calibration

 NOTE for PID ppb sensor : The PID ppb sensor may be susceptible to baseline settlement after more than 2 weeks of storage. In these cases, the PID PPB sensor should be operated in clean air for several hours prior to performing a calibration and prior to performing measurements of low concentration of gases (< 1000 PPB).

The PID ppb sensor uses a static base line for the zero offset. If the user adjusts zero base line, the PID ppb needs to be enabled in the setup menu.

 NOTE: To enable, select Setup from the main screen and then choose PID. In the PID screen, enable the ppb zero feature. Once set, return to the calibration screen to resume the

calibration process. (For more details on setting, refer to “PID sensor setup” in Chapter 3 .)

PID Span Calibration

Typically for PID 100 ppm, isobutylene is used for a span calibration when the VOCs are unknown or apply the gas of interest if detecting a specific VOC for best results.

To measure a specific VOC with PID PPM sensor, you will want to use the relevant VOC for your calibrated gas source. However, for PID PPB span calibration, it is recommended to use 10 ppm (or

10,000 ppb) isobutylene whether the gas of interest is known/unknown.

EVM Series User Manual

65 Placement and Calibration of Sensors

 NOTE: A correction factor is a number that relates to the PID sensor of a specific VOC and correlates to the PID response to the calibration gas (sometimes referred to as a response

factor). Please reference Appendix C for specific correction factors provided by Ion

Science.

Performing a PID Span Calibration

Allow up to 15 minutes of warm-up time for PPB PID sensor and 5 minutes for PPM PID sensor. For

PPB span calibration, refer to PID ppb note if the sensor has not been used for over two weeks.
