1. A sensor calibration method performed by an apparatus for sampling landfill gas flowing through a pipe, the apparatus comprising a region configured to receive a section of the pipe having a gas sampling port, at least one sensor, and at least one calibration port, the method comprising:

  • isolating the at least one sensor from the gas sampling port;

    while the at least one sensor is isolated from the gas sampling port,obtaining at least one sample of a gas having a known composition through the at least one calibration port;

    measuring, using the at least one sensor, at least one concentration of at least one constituent gas in the at least one sample of the gas having the known composition; and

    automatically calibrating the at least one sensor based on a comparison between the at least one measured concentration of the at least one constituent gas and an expected concentration of the at least one constituent gas in the at least one sample gas having the known composition.
