  • Apparatus and methods for providing corrected readings in odor intensity level monitoring instrumentation and concurrent odor intensity and odorant concentration measurements
    Patent number: 11385210
    Abstract: A system and method for concurrently measuring odorant concentration and also compensating for changes in relative air density when measuring odor intensity levels may be used to provide more accurate and reliable readings from an odorometer. Odorometers typically measure the concentration of a given target gas in a gas-air mixture. Because changes in air density make it difficult to accurately determine how much air is in the gas-air mixture sample, a method of compensating for changes in the air density is able to produce a more accurate concentration reading. By measuring the relative temperature and pressure of the air at calibration and when a particular reading is taken, the final reading can be corrected to account for changes in the air density. By correlating the odor intensity readings with odorant concentration readings a wide array of advantages may be realized.
