Abstract
A reference gas mixture of nitrous oxide (N2O) in nitrogen, filled in a 10-L high-pressure aluminum alloy gas cylinder, has been developed as a certified reference material for emission measurement of exhaust gases from automobiles. As an example of certified values, mole fraction of N2O is 302.36 μmol/mol. An electronic mass comparator with a home-made automatic cylinder exchanger, gas-filling equipment, and a gas chromatograph with a thermal conductivity detector have been used for the production of this CRM. The gas chromatographic analysis has of sufficient precision. The mole fraction of N2O has good long-term stability for 10 years and is independent of inner pressure in the gas cylinder. As these results, a relative expanded uncertainty (coverage factor is 2) of the certified value has become 0.28 %. This sufficiently small uncertainty of the N2O mole fraction will be advantageous in the calibration of analytical instruments for emission gas analysis.
