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.
