1 oil standards TRUE NORTH AND ATLANTIS

2 Accuracy Matters Accurate lab data is critical to sound decision making. Running certified oil standards is the ideal way to ensure the accuracy of your DGA results. Morgan Schaffer produces the world s only commercial gas-in-oil and moisture-in-oil standards. Our oil standards ensure: Credibility: A Certificate of Concentration is provided for each sample for traceability Certificate of Concentration 8300 Saint Patrick, suite 150, Lasalle, Quebec, Canada, H8N 2H1 Tel: Fax: Web: Syringe S/N: Lot No.: Expiry Date: Prepared by: QC Approved: RN RN Component Concentration* (ppm) Component Concentration* (ppm) H 2 O 2 N 2 CH 4 CO (Hydrogen) (Oxygen) (Nitrogen) (Methane) (Carbon Monoxide) CO 2 C 2 H 4 C 2 H 6 C 2 H 2 (Carbon Dioxide) (Ethylene) (Ethane) (Acetylene) (*) Milliliters of gas at 273K and 760 torr per cubic meter of oil. Concentrations are certified by the method of preparation and are verified by laboratory analysis using ASTM D3612 method as well as calibrations using NIST traceable weights. ± defined on a 9 confidence interval for true concentration. Accuracy: Validate the accuracy of your entire analytical process to ensure dependable results Efficiency: Confidence in your data eliminates the need to repeat measurements or analyses Cost savings: Preparing oil standards requires highly-skilled personnel. For most labs, it is too time-consuming and costly to do in-house CIGRÉ and IEC Round Robin Tests Morgan Schaffer s gas-in-oil standards have been used for CIGRÉ and IEC round robin tests and allowed participating labs to improve their accuracy by quantifying otherwise hard-to-detect calibration biases. True North and Atlantis: The world s only commercial oil standards.

3 True North gas-in-oil standards ensure proper calibration of gas extraction and chromatography Guaranteed shelf life: True North: 30 days from syringe filling date True North Long Life: 60 days from syringe filling date Atlantis moisture-in-oil standards allow the validation of the Karl Fischer test method to maintain traceability, precision and accuracy. Guaranteed shelf life: 30 days from syringe filling date Secure Shipment Industry-accepted glass syringes prevent loss of dissolved gases to the atmosphere and contamination by atmospheric components. Individual cardboard packages prevent generation of fault gases from exposure to light. IATA-accepted outer packaging guarantees safe, timely delivery by air, worldwide.
