  • Gas sensors and methods of calibrating same
    Patent number: 9121773
    Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a thermal conductivity sensor in a first medium A from measurements in a second medium B. The method includes maintaining the sensor at a substantially fixed temperature T1, and measuring a heat flux IB(T1) from the thermal element in the second medium B. A corresponding heat flux IA(T1) in the first medium A is calculated using known thermal conductivities of the first medium A and the second medium B.
