With gas mixtures the components are weighted according to their proporational volumes.

The cross interference with a gas mixture can be determined in advance if the concentration of the individual background gases is known.

Example:

Cross sensitivity calculation for a gas mixture:

The gas to be measured consists of 10 % CO2, 40 % of N2, and 50% of Ar.

C02: -0.27 x 10% = -0.027

Ar: -0.22x5O%=-0.11

TOTAL CROSS INTERFERENCE -0.137

Calculation of the zero value:

(0% 02) - (Cross Interference Value) = Zero Point Value

0% -(-0.137) = +0.137%02
