Abstract

In the present work, the approach, to evaluate in a metrological correct and exhaustive way the contribution of the several sources to the uncertainty related to the calibration of non dispersive infrared (NDIR) analysers for nitrogen oxides (NOX), is described. Such approach has been studied in collaboration between Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (I.N.Ri.M.) and the Italian SIT (Calibration Service in Italy - Servizio di Taratura in Italia) accredited Centre n. 190 (Bi-Lab S.r.l.). In order to minimize the contribution due to the uncertainty on the composition of the calibration standards, gas mixtures of NOX prepared with the gravimetric method are used. In addition, performances of the above analysers are compared with those of the chemiluminescence ones by the analysis of primary reference gas mixtures prepared at I.N.Ri.M, within 100 umol•mol-1 of NOX concentration.
