3 Terms relating to general concepts
Terms used in the field of gas analysis that are well defined by either ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 orISO/IEC Guide 99 are included in Annex A.
3.1
homogeneity
state of a gas mixture wherein all of its components (3.3) are distributed uniformly throughout thevolume occupied by the gas mixture
3.2
stability
attribute of a gas mixture, under specified conditions, to maintain its composition(3.5) within specifieduncertainty (Annex A) limits for a specified period of time (maximum storage life(7.5))
3.3
component
chemical entity at a defined physical state present in a material or in a mixture3.4
content
amount-of-substance fraction (3.5.1.1), mass fraction (3.5.1.2), volume fraction (3.5.1.3), amount-of-substance concentration (3.5.2.1),mass concentration (3.5.2.2), volume concentration (3.5.2.3) of acomponent (3.3) in a gas or gas mixture
Note 1 to entry:See ISO 14912[Z] for further information about this concept.
EXAMPLE1 The hydrogen content in a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, expressed as an amount-of-substancefraction ( 3.5.1.1), is x(H2)=0,1.
EXAMPLE 2 The content of sulfur dioxide in air at p = 101,325 kPa and T = 288,15 K, expressed as a massconcentration (3.5.2.2), is v(So2) = 1 mg/m3 .
3.5
composition
identity and content (3.4) of each component (3.3) that constitute a particular gas mixture
3.5.1 Fractions
3.5.1.1
amount-of-substance fraction
mole fraction
x B , y B
quotient of the amount of substance of a component B and the sum of the amounts of substance of all components (3.3) of the gas mixture
[SOURCE: ISO 80000-9:2009, 9-14]
3.5.1.2
mass fraction
w B
quotient of the mass of a component B and the sum of the masses of all components (3.3) of the gas mixture
[SOURCE: ISO 80000-9:2009, 9-12]
3.5.1.3
volume fraction
φ B
quotient of the volume of a component B and the sum of the volumes of all components (3.3) of the gas mixture before mixing, all volumes referring to the pressure and the temperature of the gas mixture
[SOURCE: ISO 80000-9:2009, 9-15]
3.5.2 Concentrations
3.5.2.1

mole concentration
c B
quotient of the amount of substance of a component B and the volume of the gas mixture
[SOURCE: ISO 80000-9:2009, 9-13]
3.5.2.2
mass concentration
γ B
quotient of the mass of a component B and the volume of the gas mixture
[SOURCE: ISO 80000-9:2009, 9-11.2]
