Mass spectrometric determination of nitrogen in technological gases

OSTI ID:5946316
The authors show how data on the nitrogen contents in TGM consisting of oxygen and nitrogen differ substantially from the nominal nitrogen concentrations if the mass spectrometer is calibrated on a gas mixture not containing oxygen. The authors have established the reasons for errors on the N/sub 2/ channel and have devised methods of compensating or correcting this error. Correcting the N/sub 2/ channel readings improves the reliability in analyzing technological gases, but it is not obligatory to correct the O/sub 2/ channel readings.
