6831 2024-08-28 Loaned none Returned Lab none Charlie returned the analyzer with our smart chamber sn 82S-1555, the analyzer AC plug/charger, 4 batteries total, and one set of tubing.
6814 2024-08-22 Lab none Loaned Loaned none Loaned to Charlie Diaz in Rob Rhew's lab for fieldwork on 8/26. Should be able to return it on 8/27 for Biomet fieldwork later in the week. Borrowed with our smart chamber sn 82S-1555, the analyzer AC plug/charger, 4 batteries total, one set of tubing.

Notes: Calibration in the lab before Kuno's field campaign next week. Ran zero and span gases at our usual flow rate of 2 SCFH and plumbed the system with the recommended 30cm vent before the air inlet to vent excess air pressure and to prevent diffusion of ambient air into the gas stream. I spoke with a Licor technical person at AGU (Graham I think) who said that because the laser is tuned to methane, we only need to wait for CH4 to stabilize for the calibration (don't need to wait for H2O).
6815 2024-07-19 Loaned none Returned Lab none Analyzer, smart chamber sn 82S-1555, analyzer AC plug/charger, 3 batteries, and tubing were returned. Not sure if manuals were returned?
6726 2024-05-13 Lab none Loaned Loaned none Loaned to Rob Rhew and Charlie Diaz. They are planning a field campaign this summer at Dutch Slough and first want to test out the analyzer in the lab. Borrowed with our smart chamber sn 82S-1555, the analyzer AC plug/charger, 3 batteries total, one set of tubing, and both manuals.

Notes: Calibration in the lab before Kuno's field campaign next week. Ran zero and span gases at our usual flow rate of 2 SCFH and plumbed the system with the recommended 30cm vent before the air inlet to vent excess air pressure and to prevent diffusion of ambient air into the gas stream. I waited until the slope of H2O was <0.002ppm to set the zero. I waited until the slope of CH4 was <0.002ppb to set the span. Plan 45min+ for H2O zero to stabilize. I forgot to write down the exact CH4 span offset, but I saved a screenshot and estimated the offset based on the graph.
6395 2023-08-22 Lab none Calibration Lab none Last calibration:
Zero Air at 900psi, AMP CA04119 4223.8 ppb CH4 at 850psi
CO2 zero Offset: -20.9ppm
H2O zero Offset: -93.5ppm
CH4 zero Offset: 0.1ppb
CH4 span Offset: 33.7ppb
Notes: First calibration in the lab for sn TG10-01751. Ran zero and span gases at our usual flow rate of 2 SCFH and plumbed the system with the recommended 30cm vent before the air inlet to vent excess air pressure and to prevent diffusion of ambient air into the gas stream. It took more than 45min for H2O zero to stabilize.
