For best results it is recommended that instruments are returned to the factory
for servicing. See section 1.3 for return procedures.

CALIBRATION CONVERSIONS FROM
REFERENCE GASES
The calibration conversion incorporates the K factor. The K factor is derived from
gas density and coefficient of specific heat. For diatomic gases:

Note in the above relationship that d and C
p
are usually chosen at standard con-
ditions of one atmosphere and 25

If the flow range of a Mass Flow Controller or Controller remains unchanged, a
relative K factor is used to relate the calibration of the actual gas to the reference
gas.
For example, if we want to know the flow rate of oxygen and wish to calibrate
with nitrogen at 1000 SCCM, the flow rate of oxygen is:
