RECALIBRATION
7.3.1
OVERVIEW
To assure that the ADCS-601-AF operates within pressure measurement uncertainty limits,
certain metrology maintenance functions are required. See Section 7.2 for instructions on
these procedures.
In addition to the metrology maintenance functions, to assure that the pressure values set and
measured by the ADCS-601-AF remain within predicted measurement uncertainty levels over
time, regular recalibration of certain components is required. The recalibrations required are
summarized in Table 23, including cross-reference to manual sections detailing each procedure.

PG7601 Calibration
of
piston-cylinder
module
Determination of piston-cylinder
effective area and entry of new

PG7601 Calibration
of
mass set
Determination of mass values of
mass set and piston assembly and
entry of new values into the system.
Yearly until decreased frequency justified
by experience.
Recommended end of first and second
years, then every three years if no
significant changes observed.
7.3.3
PG7601 Calibration

PG7601 Calibration
of
reference
vacuum CDG
Determination and adjustment of
slope of the reference vacuum
capacitance diaphragm gauge, power
supply and read out.
6 months, increase to 1 year when
justified by experience.
