These coefficients, to be programmed for the "Other gases" channel, are calculated with respect to methane, as the instrument
systematically recalculates the values of sensitivity coefficients with respect to that gas.

Example of use: Detection of Benzene with an MX-2100 instrument:
Select "Other gas" on the combustible channel.
Program the coefficient = 2.2.
Select the standard gas. If it is mineral spirit, select "Other" as the standard gas.
Calibrate the instrument in the normal way, specifying the content for the standard gas used.
