Generating calibration gas with a permeation tube

Permeation tube

A permeation tube is a fluororesin tube that contains high-grade liquefied gas. When the tube is exposed to a certain temperature, liquefied gas penetrates the tube wall by osmosis in time-increments enabling a specific quantity of gas to be retained in the tube . Consequently, a carrier gas flowing at a constant speed (for calibration purposes) can be continuously generated by keeping the tube at a fixed temperature and infusing a constant quantity of dilution gas. This method is highly reliable because the concentration of the calibration gas is determined by calculating the decrease in weight of the permeation tube and the quantity of dilution gas. This dynamic method also enables highly reactive gases such as chlorine, hydrogen sulphide or ammonia to be generated. As shown in the table below, there are many different kinds of permeation tubes and they are widely used because they can provide a stable supply of calibration gas.

Generating calibration gas with a diffusion tube

Some typical gas diffusion tubes

A diffusion tube is a glass tube that consists of a liquid containing portion and a diffusing portion with a uniform inner diametre. A pure target liquid is put into the liquid container using a glass syringe. The liquid must have a vapour pressure of 5 to 400 mm Hg at 25 to 50ºC (77 to 122ºF) and be highly stable. If this tube is kept at a constant temperature, the liquid evaporates and diffuses at a constant rate.

*1 Although not a common application, gases of substances that are solid at normal temperatures can be generated using gas diffusion tubes. Please contact your licensed GASTEC representative for information regarding specific substances.

*2 This method cannot be applied to substances with extremely high or low vapour pressure or substances with decomposability, corrosiveness, hygroscopicity or polymerizability due to their diffusion rate not being constant.
