Abstract

An apparatus for the continuous generation of test gases from organic compounds of the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and SVOC (Semivolatile Organic Compounds) categories has been developed. The use of a new test gas generator together with a system of heated transfer lines enabled the dynamic generation of test gases also of components with relatively low vapour pressures. With the help of an on-line coupled gas chromatograph the actual test gas concentrations were monitored. The apparatus has been evaluated for the compounds n-decane and pyrene.
