Blast furnace gas mixtures

Calibrated Gas Mixtures (CGM)
component range calibration and
measurement capability
(CMC)*
amount fraction (% mol/mol) amount fraction (% mol/mol)
nitrogen 27 to 54 0.25 % relative
carbon dioxide 20 to 31 0.25 % relative
hydrogen 1 to 16 0.25 % relative + 0.03
carbon monoxide 20 to 31 0.25 % relative
* The calibration and measurement capability is based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty evaluation has been carried out in accordance with UKAS requirements
