Gas Standards for Olfactometry

Gas Standards

Olfactometric gas standard mixtures are stable and provide a repeatable reference concentration that can be used for regular calibrations.

Each olfactometry gas standard contains accurately-weighed components.

Olfactometry gas mixtures are available with the following components:

Gas Standards for Olfactometry

Gaseous Species

Matrix

Amount Fraction Range (mol/mol)

1-Butanol Nitrogen / Air
100×10-6 – 20×10-6
1-Pentene Nitrogen / Air 1×10-6 – 80×10-6

NPL's gas standards are certified for a period up to five years depending on the stability of the mixture. NPL offers a cost-effective re-certification service after the initial certification period has expired, ensuring temporal consistency of gas traceability.
