Abstract: | A highly accurate gas chromatographic analytical method has been developed for the determination of the composition of gas
mixtures. It was tested using a reference gas as an example consisting of 3.5% of CO, 14% of CO2, 0.2% of propane and residual N2 intended for the use in vehicle emission measurements. The method is based on comparison measurements with samples of a calibration
gas, whose composition is iteratively adapted to that of the sample investigated using a gravimetric gas mixing method. For
the gas chromatographic measurement, a molecular sieve column and a polymer column are used in parallel and in isothermal
operation. All gas components can be determined by a single gas chromatographic measurement, and the relative uncertainty
of measurement achievable is ?0.4%.
