Pressure
Decay Leak Testers: Resolution vs. Calibration
Boylston,
MA: A paper has been released addressing the issues of instrument
resolution and instrument calibration with regards to pressure
decay leak testers.
This
paper presents a definition of each concept and a discussion
of the difference between a leak tester's resolution (its
ability to detect pressure change - decay - during a predetermined
test time) and its accuracy regarding calibration to a known
standard (its ability to reproduce a test pressure consistently
at the beginning of the pressure decay leak test).
In
addition, a discussion is presented that examines issues
related to pressure decay leak testing including environmental
influences, factors limiting leak tester resolution, and
the physics behind the pressure decay leak test.
This
paper, entitled "Calibration vs. Decay Measurements"
and written by Stephen Franks, can be found at www.tmelectronics.com under the "Technical Resources/TME
Resources" heading.
