Cycle repeats every ~20Minuites
The timing of the above cycle is set by two variables (see Appendix A-2),
MEASURE_PERIOD, which sets the total dwell time for each gas mode, and
MEASURE_DELAY which sets the wait period before the instrument begins making
measurements after the gas mode has been switch.
The Model T101 uses a special flow control assembly located in the exhaust vacuum
manifold (Figure 10-7) to maintain a constant flow rate of the sample gas through the
instrument. This assembly consists of:
a critical flow orifice
•
two o-rings: Located just before and after the critical flow orifice, the o-
•
rings seal the gap between the walls of assembly housing and the critical
flow orifice.
•
a spring: Applies mechanical force needed to form the seal between the
o-rings, the critical flow orifice and the assembly housing.
The most important component of this flow control assembly is the critical flow orifice.
Critical flow orifices are a remarkably simple way to regulate stable gas flow rates. They
operate without moving parts by taking advantage of the laws of fluid dynamics. By
restricting the flow of gas though the orifice, a pressure differential is created. This
