| Description | Methane in air |
| Time of measurements | 2023 - 2024 |
| Status | Approved for equivalence |
| Final Reports of the comparisons | |
| Measurand | Amount fraction of methane in air, with measurement results being expressed in mol/mol (or one of its multiples mmol/mol, μmol/mol or nmol/mol). Nominal range from 1800 nmol/mol to 2200 nmol/mol |
| Comparison type | Key Comparison |
| Consultative Committee | CCQM (Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance) |
| Conducted by | BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) |
| Comments | The CCQM-K82.2023 comparison is designed to evaluate the level of compatibility of methane in air primary reference mixtures in the range (1800-2200) nmol/mol. The balance gas for the standards was either scrubbed dry real air or synthetic air. The comparison can also serve to demonstrate the purity analysis capabilities for NMIs/DIs for measurements of trace levels of methane in a variety of matrix gases. |
