ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the concentration of a monitored gas in the head space of a confined space containing a medium material at a given temperature (T.sub.1), includes the steps of: (a) providing an extracting apparatus having a chamber for receiving a sample volume of the material to be extracted from the confined space; (b) controlling the temperature of the chamber such that the temperature of the chamber is maintained at the given temperature (T.sub.1) of the confined space; (c) withdrawing a sample volume of the material from the confined space and into the chamber; (d) feeding a volume of inert gas into the chamber and mixing the inert gas with the material to form a mixture; (e) allowing the mixture to reach equilibrium wherein a head space of gas is formed in the chamber over the material; (f) withdrawing a first gas sample from the head space of the chamber; (g) determining the concentration of the monitored gas in the first gas sample; (h) expelling the gas from the head space of the chamber; (i) repeating steps (d)-(g) so as to determine the concentration of the monitored gas in at least a second gas sample; (j) determining the equilibrium constant of the material at the given temperature (T.sub.1) in accordance with a specified formula; and (k) determining the concentration of the monitored gas in the head space of the confined space in accordance with another specified formula.
