Gas sensor test and calibration system
First Claim
1. A test and calibration system comprising:
- a housing comprising;
a chamber;
a plurality of gas-filled packets; and
an opener for releasing gas from a packet of the plurality of gas-filled packets, into the chamber; and
wherein;
the plurality of gas-filled packets is attached to a strip that goes into the chamber; and
the strip is in a form of a roll on a spool which is fed into the chamber.

Abstract
A system for testing and calibrating gas sensors with gas stored in a strip of packets. The strip may be fed into a chamber having a defined volume of air. A packet may be punctured with a mechanism to release one or more gases into the volume of air to result in an air-gas mixture. New air may be moved into the chamber to push the mixture out of the chamber to a sensor for testing and/or calibration. Then another packet may be punctured to release one or more gases into the volume of new air in the chamber for another air-gas mixture. This mixture may be moved out of the chamber, in the same manner as the previous mixture, to another sensor for testing and/or calibration. This procedure may be repeated with additional packets on the strip.
