4.4.4.8. Dilution Ratio
The dilution ratio is a software option that allows the user to compensate for any dilution
of the sample gas before it enters the sample inlet.
1. Select reporting range units: Follow the procedure in Section 4.4.4.7.
2. Select the range: Use the procedures in Section 4.4.4.3 – 4.4.4.6.
Make sure:
that the SPAN value entered is the maximum expected concentration of
the undiluted calibration gas, and
that the span gas is either supplied through the same dilution inlet system
as the sample gas or has an appropriately lower actual concentration.
For example, with a dilution set to 100, a 1 ppm gas can be used to
calibrate a 100 ppm sample gas if the span gas is not routed through the
dilution system. On the other hand, if a 100 ppm span gas is used, it
needs to pass through the same dilution steps as the sample gas.
3. Set the dilution factor as a gain (e.g., a value of 20 means 20 parts
diluent and 1 part of sample gas):

The analyzer multiplies the measured gas concentrations with this dilution factor and
displays the result.
NOTE
Once the above settings have been entered, the instrument needs to be recalibrated using one of the
methods discussed in Section 6.
