Abstract
A gas regulating device for use in calibration of a gas analyzer has an inlet and an outlet, a valve arrangement comprising at least one valve, and valve regulator for regulating the at least one valve. The gas regulating device is intended to be connected between a calibration gas supply and a gas analyzer that is to be calibrated and the valve regulator is configured to regulate the at least one valve such that gas is allowed to flow through a gas flow path between the inlet and outlet only when a gas pressure in the gas flow path, between the at least one valve and the outlet, falls below a predetermined threshold value. The gas regulating device is used when calibrating side-stream gas analyzers in which case it reduces calibration gas consumption, prevents discharge of calibration gas into the ambient environment and prevents leakages jeopardizing correct calibration.
