use 0° C and 760 Torr as standard
temperature and pressure (STP). Consult your local regulations for the STP used by your
agency. EPA protocol applications, for example, use 25° C as the reference temperature.
Changing the units may cause a bias in the measurements if standard temperature and
pressure other than 0°C and 760 Torr are used. This problem can be avoided by recalibrat-
ing the analyzer after any change from a volumetric to a mass unit or vice versa.
CAUTION
In order to avoid a reference temperature bias, the analyzer must be recalibrated
after every change in reporting units.
6.5.7. Dilution Ratio
The dilution ratio is a software option that allows the user to compensate for any dilution of
the sample gas before it enters the sample inlet. Using the dilution ratio option is a 4-step
process:
• Select concentration units: Follow the procedure in Section 6.5.6.
