Instrument Setup

Daily Verification

The daily verification is required for each day of
testing. The purpose is to confirm that the
instrument is working properly.

The daily verification test measures the leak rate
of the leak orifice on the triple tube assembly at
various pressure levels, and confirms that the
diaphragm pump and other processes are
working correctly.

See the

8 Daily Verification

section for more information.
