Abstract

The present invention provides a process for producing standard gas mixtures which entails purifying a raw gas using a gas purifier (3) such as a known two stage gas purifier system, thereby generating a high-purity diluent gas; PA0 mixing the high-purity diluent gas and at least one high-concentration standard gas, by generating a medium-concentration gas mixture; PA0 dividing the medium-concentration gas mixture into a first flow and a second flow; PA0 selectively mixing the first flow with a sample gas or a high-purity diluent gas or a mixture thereof, thereby obtaining a standard low-concentration gas mixture; and PA0 controlling the pressure of the sample gas, the second flow of the medium-concentration gas mixture and the standard low concentration gas mixture.
