This key comparison aims to assess the capabilities of the participants to determine the amount-of-substance fraction oxygen in nitrogen. The GAWG has classified this as a track B comparison, due to the unexpected 50 μmol/mol argon mole fraction content of the transfer standards, which effects the achievable performance of some measurement techniques such a GC-TCD. The separation of oxygen and argon is challenging, and not all systems in use are equally well designed for it. As this analytical challenge due to a substantial fraction of argon in the transfer standards became a reality, the Gas Analysis Working Group (GAWG) decided to qualify this key comparison as a regular key comparison and not as a core comparison, which may be used to support calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) for oxygen in nitrogen, or for oxygen in nitrogen mixtures containing argon only (see also the section on support to CMCs).
The relevance of the COOMET.QM-S5 comparison is founded on tightening of requirements to a control of automobile emissions (realization of environmental standards of EURO 4, EURO-5). Participating laboratories: VNIIM, BAM, BelGIM, Ukrmetrteststandart, KazInMetr. This comparison was carried out in 2013-2014. This supplementary comparison supports CMC claims for: CO2 in the range (4–16) 10⁻² mol/mol; CO in the range (0.5–5) 10⁻² mol/mol; C3H8 in the range (0.01–0.3) 10⁻² mol/mol. Results:
Component CO:
All laboratories identified the values of carbon monoxide mole fraction in the gas mixture within ±0.9134%.
Component CO2:
All laboratories identified the values of carbon dioxide mole fraction in the gas mixture within ±0.3042%.
Component C3H8:
All laboratories identified the values of propane mole fraction in the gas mixture within ±0.443%.
