 Benefits
The only way to verify performance of the entire
analytical process
Provide a common base for calibration of all DGA
systems, independently of gas extraction method, gas
detection technique and equipment used
Common reference guarantees significance of data
trending using results from different laboratories
Excellent for client or laboratory assessment of analytical
performance using blind samples
TRUE NORTH DGA OIL STANDARDS
ATLANTIS MOISTURE-IN-OIL STANDARDS
DGA precision and accuracy is critical to your operation
Precise and accurate dissolved moisture-in-oil results are also crucial to your clients’ transformer maintenance
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is the most effective way of detecting incipient faults in oil-filled electrical decisions. With Atlantis, you can continuously validate the precision and accuracy of your Karl Fischer* method.

traceable to NIST;
As these methods require proper calibration of laboratory equipment prior to analyzing oil samples, the use of The concentration of each Atlantis lot is determined by the method of preparation;

The following steps are required to reach maximum efficiency in using True North / Atlantis QA tools:
- Assessment of laboratory capacity
- Assessment of laboratory work load profile
Traceability is key to your credibility - Establishing of True North / Atlantis supply schedule
- Implementation and performance tracking
Each bulk standard of True North oil is produced using NIST traceable gas concentrations and NIST traceable
calibrated balances Standards are shipped to the laboratory weekly or monthly
Bulk lots are continuously monitored for stability and nominal concentrations are validated statistically to Usage schedule is reviewed yearly and is adjusted
reach a 95% degree of confidence on the precision range stated for each gas concentration Sample concentrations used within the program are optimized to guarantee stability of the calibration curves
True North DGA Oil Standards are extracted from bulk standards on the day they are shipped Schedule designed to minimize labor and materials costs associated with running standards

A Certificate of Concentration is delivered with each sample for traceability True North Oil Standards are produced in low, medium and high concentrations*.
Standards containing gas concentrations more typical of faulty transformers are also available.
