Precision Argon CO₂ Mixture — argon-CO₂ mixtures with stated uncertainty
A Precision Argon CO₂ Mixture is defined by the quality of its numbers: component fractions, expanded uncertainty and stability are each reported, not assumed.
REAL GAZ prepares these mixtures on balances calibrated against traceable masses and checks them against independent standards.
REAL GAZ prepares these mixtures on balances calibrated against traceable masses and checks them against independent standards.
Reported results rely on ISO 6142-1 gravimetry, ISO 6143 comparison methods and ISO 16664 handling of reference and working standards.
Precision depends on method. In gravimetric preparation, each component is added to an evacuated cylinder and weighed on a calibrated balance, so the final fraction is calculated from mass rather than pressure. The result is then compared with independently prepared standards using a gas chromatograph or an infrared analyser, and any difference beyond the acceptance limit leads to rejection and re-blending.
The uncertainty on the certificate combines the weighing, the purity of the raw gases and the analytical comparison, and is normally reported at a 95% confidence level. Typical relative expanded uncertainties for CO₂ in argon are in the range of 1% to 2%, depending on the concentration. For best results, allow the cylinder to equilibrate in the laboratory, roll it gently if the label advises, and use it before the stated expiry date. Where a measurement campaign runs for months, REAL GAZ can reserve a matched set of cylinders from the same batch, so that a single reference composition supports the whole programme and the comparison between sites stays valid. Ask for a stability statement if your protocol requires one.
