Abstract: A gas pressure measurement system configured to indirectly measure an internal pressure of a gas containment unit includes (a) a pressure transducer connected to the gas containment unit by a conduit, the pressure transducer configured to measure the gas pressure within the conduit; (b) a gas flow detector connected to the containment unit by the conduit, the gas flow detector configured to detect a flow rate of the gas through the conduit; and (c) a flow analysis unit configured to receive a signal from the gas flow detector indicating that the flow rate of the gas, wherein when the gas flow within the conduit has fallen below a pre-determined value, the flow analysis unit is configured to transmit a signal to the pressure transducer to measure the gas pressure within the conduit, the gas pressure of the conduit being substantially equivalent to the gas pressure within the gas containment unit.

Abstract: A system for certifying a concentration of gas in a cylinder includes a gas cell configured to receive a sample gas from a cylinder, and an FTIR module coupled to the gas cell for scanning the sample gas and forming a beam spectrum. A processor is coupled to the FTIR module for calculating an intensity response of the sample gas based on the beam spectrum. A storage device is included for storing data points of a plot of intensity response of a known gas versus concentration levels. The processor is configured to interpolate between the stored data points of the plot to determine an interpolated data point corresponding to the intensity response of the sample gas. The processor provides to the user a concentration level of the sample gas, based on the interpolated data point.
