System Calibration

Model 3310 Elemental Hg Calibration Unit

The Tekran® Model 3310 Elemental Mercury Calibrator allows high-level mercury monitoring systems to be accurately calibrated using elemental mercury. Although built specifically to integrate with the Tekran® Series 3300 speciating CEM, the Model 3310 can also be used as a stand-alone mercury generation system. The calibration source allows both multi-point calibrations and standard additions to be automatically initiated. The unit generates concentrations of mercury by using a NIST traceable temperature controlled saturated mercury vapor source. Precision mass flow controllers dilute the source output to the desired value. The unit is capable of continuously generating large flow rates of calibration gas at virtually no ongoing cost – unlike expensive mercury calibration gas cylinders. Unlike other saturated sources, the Model 3310 contains a host of advanced features that provide superior accuracy and allow unattended, remote operation.

Model 3310 generators can be supplied certified, with mercury outputs traceable to NIST.

  • Output concentration range: 0.5 – 1000 μg/m3
  • Calibration gas delivery rate: 2 – 30 SLPM
  • Hg source control range: 5.00 to 50.00 °C
  • Mercury source will last for many years

Model 3315 Ionic Hg Calibration Unit

The Tekran® Model 3315 Ionic Mercury Calibrator allows continuous mercury emissions monitoring systems to be tested or calibrated using ionic mercury. It integrates seamlessly into the Tekran® Series 3300 speciating CEM, as well as functioning as a stand-alone ionic mercury calibration system. The calibration source allows both multi-point calibrations and standard additions to be automatically initiated. The unit generates concentrations of ionic mercury by using NIST traceable commercially available mercury standards. Precision automated dispensers are used to generate calibration gas at the desired value. The unit is capable of continuously generating large flow rates of calibration gas at low ongoing cost. When combined with the Tekran® Model 3310 Elemental Mercury Calibration Unit, the Model 3315 allows automated calibrations using elemental mercury or ionic mercury. The system implements Tekran’s Advanced Matrix Matching™ (Pat Pending) to resolve issues with transport of elemental and ionic mercury calibration gases through probe components, eliminating problems that can plague conventional systems.

  • Output concentration range: 0.5 – 250 μg/m3
  • Operates with Model 3310 to produce both elemental and ionic standards
  • Calibration gas delivery rate: 2 – 30 SLPM
  • Hg2+ standard replacement interval: 3 to 12 months
