Abstract

A reference liquid-containing calibration cell for the calibration of a sensor for measuring a gaseous or non-gaseous constituent parameter of a fluid includes a chamber containing the reference liquid. The chamber is sealed to prevent loss of the reference liquid, and provides for communication between the sensor and a reference constituent present in the reference liquid. The chamber is provided with a gas-inleting port that is sealed by a first semi-permeable membrane. The first semi-permeable membrane is permeable to gaseous fluid constituents but impermeable to the reference liquid and to non-gaseous reference constituents present in the reference liquid. The chamber is further provided with a gas vent.
