Gas Sample Preparation and Calibration of Thermal Conductivity Gas Analysers

Abstract

This report describes the sample gas preparation technique and calibration procedure for thermal conductivity gas analysers operated by the Platform Sciences Laboratory. The analysers are used to measure gaseous fire suppressant concentrations of extinguishing systems installed in Royal Australian Navy ships. These measurements are undertaken to ensure the systems meet the minimum standards for acceptance into service.
