Wherein the calibration gas source chamber 102 uses a calibration gas source having a known concentration at standard atmospheric pressure.
Another aspect of the invention provides a method for on-line measurement and calibration of gas partial pressure. As shown in fig. 3, the method specifically includes the following steps:

Step S4: vacuumizing to remove residual gas: the calibration gas sample inlet channel and the constant pressure chamber 104 are evacuated to ensure that no calibration gas remains.
Step S5: on-line measurement of gas partial pressure: the total pressure of the air in the source chamber 101 to be measured was recorded by a vacuum gauge as 1.0 × 105And Pa, inputting the total pressure data into the data acquisition control module. Selecting a high-pressure gas sample introduction channel to be detected, and finely adjusting the first regulating valve 601 to make the pressure in the constant pressure chamber 104 still be P0=5.0×10-4Pa, the mass spectrum at that time is recorded by the quadrupole mass spectrometer 800, as shown in fig. 4.
