Why is the span reading unacceptably high on my Servomex Analytical Instruments?

To address a high span reading (greater than 50% high) on your Servomex Analytical Instruments, verify the accuracy and age of your calibration reference cylinder. Note that trace O2 standards in steel cylinders can degrade over time due to oxidation of the cylinder walls. If you're using steel cylinders, standards below 100 ppm should be re-analyzed or calibrated every three months. Ideally, standards below 100 ppm, and especially those below 10 ppm, should be prepared in aluminum cylinders.
