ULTIMA XIR - Relative Response to 50 % LEL
The ULTIMA XIR response to 50 % LEL of the measuring gas, when configured to
linearisation curve number 2 [Propane] and calibrated in clean air and 50 % LEL
Propane, is shown below for various flammable gases and vapours.
When using relative response factors for gas calibration, deviations of up to ±20 %
of the true measuring gas concentration can be expected.
