6. ADJUSTMENT IN HEAT TREATMENT FURNACE
What is the adjustment in heat treatment furnaces?
If, in plant gases to be measured actually, a large amount of other lower-molecular-weigh gases than nitrogen (N2) such
as hydrogen (H2), or a large amount of other higher-molecular-weight gases than nitrogen (N2) such as argon (Ar) are
contained, including the measuring components, it is known that the calibration curve (output performance to gas
concentration) of gas analyzers will be affected (pressure broadening).
In such a case, analyzer is adjusted with gases similar to plant gas compositions in manufacturing (adjustment by scale
gas). After this adjustment, the analyzer is checked the calibration curve with N2 balance gas (calibration curve by check
gas). Graphs with these calibration curves drawn are attached to products to be supplied.
Since measurement in a heat treatment furnace has much gas of such composition, it is considering as the adjustment
for heat treatment furnaces.
In order to perform exact measurement, there are two methods in span calibration:
Composition of the standard gas for span calibration used for each method and its method are explained using an
example:
For the standard gas for zero calibration, use dry N2 in any case so that zero point will not be affected.
<Example>
Assume that a 0 – 1% CO2 meter of the infrared ray gas analyzer measures CO2 contained in plant gases.
When plant gases are composed of 0.5% CO2, 23% CO, 30% H2, 0.2% CH4 and 46.3% N2, either of the following is
used as the span calibration standard gas.
Standard gas type Composition of standard gas Method for span adjustment
1 Standard gas with the same 0.9% to 1% CO2 Perform span calibration
composition as plant gases 23% CO, 30% H2, remainder is N2 directly.
(scale gas) *
2 Check gas 0.9% to 1% CO Perform span calibration
remainder is N2 indirectly
* A small amount of gas like 0.2% CH4 with little effect on span calibration may be excluded from the standard
gas.
(1) Method for span calibration by standard gas with the same
composition as plant gas
When using the standard gas with the same composition as plant gases given in 1, calibration can be performed
without correction, as an error in calibration curve does not occur.
1) Set CO2 concentration to span calibration concentration set value.
2) Perform span calibration by using the operation key.

(2) Method for span calibration by check gas
The method for span calibration by use of check gas (give in 2) is explained based on the example.
(Since span calibration has an error of calibration curve, preset a calibration indication on the calibration curve
graph attached to this analyzer for indirect calibration.)
1) The following calibration curve graph is attached to the test results for the product. In graph, the calibration
curve by the scale gas (that is similar to plant gas and determines scales of this analyzer) and the calibration
curve by the check gas that is adjusted by the scale gas (gas of simple composition of N2 balance gas to
facilitate the analyzer check) are drawn.

2) When using 0.95% CO2 and remainder N2 (check gas) as calibration gas,
In graph, a point of 0.95% on X-axis should be stretched to upward, draw a line toward Y-axis from the
cross point with the check gas calibration curve. From the cross point with calibration curve on the scale gas
composition, 0.89% or equivalent values can be obtained.
3) Set this point (0.89%) to the span calibration concentration of the calibration concentration set value.
4) Supply 0.95% check gas to perform span calibration. Then, the concentration value is corrected to 0.89%.
Measurement suited to actual plants can be performed by this error correction of calibration curve.
