7. Calibration 24 The use of multipoint calibration and multiple response factors curves with the TVA 1000B must be fully understood before employing these features To help explain these TVA 1000B capabilities three scenarios follow Scenario 1 To maximize standard accuracy it is highly recommended that you calibrate with methane for the flame ionization detector and isobutylene for the photoionization detector Almost all published response factors for FIDs and PIDs are based upon methane and isobutylene respectively By employing a multipoint calibration for these compounds you will improve the accuracy of each detector over the entire dynamic range Response factors curves can then be employed for correcting the detector s response to different compounds However once a multipoint calibration has been employed any response curve must characterize only the rela tive response at each concentration excluding curvature of the calibrated compound Thus use of both multipoint calibration and response curves at the same time is difficult and is not recommended Display Menus MI 611 185 June 1996 Scenario 2 If for example you want to measure several different compounds over wide concentration ranges it is best to use a single point calibration and then enter response curves for each specific compound up to 9 response factors curves can be entered into the analyzer Scenario 3 If instead you want to measure in dir

69. Detector FID measures organic compounds by utilizing a flame pro duced by the combustion of hydrogen and air When hydrocarbons in the sample are intro duced to the detection zone ions are produced by the following reaction RH Oo RHO gt H O CO where R carbon compound A collector electrode with a polarizing voltage is also located within the detector chamber and the ions produced by this reaction are attracted to it As the ions migrate towards the collector a current is produced which is directly proportional to the concentration of hydrocarbons introduced to the flame This current is then amplified and sent to a microprocessor and or analog readout device The FID has a wide dynamic range The effective dynamic range can be further expanded by use of a dilutor kit which reduces very high volatile organic compounds VOC concentra tions to within the dynamic range or even linear range of the analyzer The dilutor kit can also be used to enrich oxygen deficient samples by adding ambient air that is rich in oxygen 20 9 usually Low oxygen can affect the characteristics of the hydrogen flame causing readings to be artificially elevated and possibly extinguishing the flame As a general rule of thumb greater than 16 oxygen is required to support the flame If underground gases or samples in gas bags are to be measured by an FID it is advised that the dilutor be used to combat the problem

83. R TVA 1000 About 11 8 eV PID Lamps The standard PID capsule supplied with the TVA 1000B contains a 10 6 eV lamp This PID lamp capsule is suitable for detection of many of the most commonly encountered hydrocarbons since their ionization potentials generally tend to fall below 10 6 eV How ever in cases where you need to detect a compound with an ionization potential between 10 6 eV and 11 8 eV the 11 8 eV PID lamp capsule is required NOTE It is important that you recognize the disadvantages of using an 11 8 eV PID lamp capsule prior to installing one in your TVA 1000B With normal care and cleaning a 10 6 eV PID lamp capsule should give you greater than 2000 hours of life The 11 8 eV PID lamp capsule however is not so durable Its expected life is much shorter often less than 100 hours and is much more dependent on environ mental conditions and usage pattern However with proper care and use you can maxi mize the life of your 11 8 eV PID lamp capsule and prevent premature failure Because of the high energy UV radiation used by the 11 8 eV PID lamp capsule the same magnesium fluoride material used in the 10 6 eV PID lamp capsule window is unsuitable A special window material lithium fluoride is required in 11 8 eV PID lamp capsules to allow the short wavelength to pass through to the ionization chamber Although lithium fluoride is one of the few materials that will transmit 11 8 eV photons its crystal lattice is slowly erode
