In-situ calibration of capacitance monometers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5395593
Volumetric pressure division is a process of providing calculated test pressures beginning with an initial small volume of gas at high pressure and expanding into other known volumes. An in situ calibration using volumetric pressure division is described. Calibration performance is evaluated by using established manometer dial corrections in calculating the gas leak rate of a known leak rate standard. A difference of 0.7% is shown between the standard's mass spectrometer gas leak calibration and a gas leak measurement using the manometer dial corrections. (LEW)
