Ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy is reliable for ozone concentration measurement. Concentration range and optical path length are inversely related based on theoretical calculation and observation of previous work. However, gas cells for ozone application are typically not expandable. In addition, they incur cost for custom fabrication. Here we design a reconfigurable brass gas cell that may interchange optical path length between 5.6 cm and 10.8 cm. Components are available at low cost, easy to joint and ready to use. Theoretical background and gas cell structure are discussed. Practical transmittance values between e-0.65 and e-0.05 are proposed for theoretical calculation of concentration via Beer-Lambert law. The concentration values are used in SpectralCalc.com gas cell simulation to obtain transmittance. Both approaches yield comparable result. Simulation result shows concentration range of 5.6 cm optical path length gas cell (31.82 ppm to 413.67 ppm) is wider than concentration range of 10.8 cm optical path length gas cell (16.50 ppm to 214.49 ppm). Simulation condition is at transmittance from 0.5291 to 0.9522, sampling wavelength 253.65 nm, temperature 300 K and pressure 1 atm. Thus, we strongly recommend short optical path length gas cell (5.6 cm) for wide range of concentration measurement (31.82 ppm to 413.67 ppm).
