– Procedure for Pressure Transducer and Flowmeter Calibration

Flowmeter Calibration Procedure

1. Enter the

Manual

screen and without the pump running, observe the average

flow controller flow rate (the flow rate will oscillate). If it is not 0.00±0.02,
manually adjust the flow controller output by turning the "zero" adjust screw on
the side of the flow controller.

2. Go to the

Advanced

screen and enter 0.00 for the intercept for the channel

being calibrated.

3. Connect an accurate flowmeter (referenced to the desired temperature and

pressure) to the canister inlet for the channel of the flow controller being
calibrated.

4. Under

Manual

Mode, set the flow controller set point to its normally operating

value, open the channel solenoid valve, and turn on the pump. Read the
flowmeter value from the screen (X) after the flow has stabilized.

X:

5. Read the calibrated flow unit value (Y).

Y:

6. The slope is calculated by:

X

Y

Slope



Slope:

7. Go to the

Advanced

screen, enter the new value for the slope.

8. Go to the

Manual

screen and set the flow controller to the desired flow. Check

the “Calibrated Values” box and record the flow rate that is displayed in red. This
flow rate will be the calibrated flow rate with the applied calibration constants.
