摘要 |
This invention provides a calibration unit for generating known concentrations of an oxidizing or a reducing gas in an inert carrier gas. THe gas-generating electrode is sandwiched between an ion-exchange membrane and a porous diffusion membrane for minimizing the liquid layer thickness around the electrode and for regularizing the rate of diffusion of the gas generated. The present invention is especially useful for calibrating gas sensors which detect, measure, and monitor the concentration of a gas in the atmosphere, and for providing an accurate low concentration of gas for use wherever desired.
