Be sure to save the entry and compare the values once more. Repeat as
necessary to within 2 mmHg.
The preferred method of flow rate calibration is the Auto Flow Calibration.
Place a NIST-traceable volumetric flow meter on top of the instrument
after complete installation (reassembled heater tube, sample tubes, and
inlets). Allow approximately 1-minute for the flow to stabilize. Once stable,
measure and average three individual readings from the reference. This
average observed flow rate from your reference meter should now be
entered in the screen below:

Perform the “ Leak Test ” procedure on page 5-6 to verify no leaks.
The Model 5030 i SHARP is calibrated for mass in the factory using a series
of null and span foils. The mass transfer standard foil sets are available from
Thermo Fisher Scientific, and should be used as part of a QA Program for
performing a QC check on the mass measurements. This mass foil
calibration procedure can be used for QC checks, auditing, and calibration.
