A.2 Typical Examples
The following examples show typical calculations based on the equations presented on the previous page.

calibration without calculating the value of p
point temperature by Equation 2 on the previous page. To use
"Dry Gas Setting" and either "High Wet Gas Setting" or "Low Wet Gas Setting." Moving horizontally across the table,
read the generated dew/frost point temperature under the appropriate temperature reading.
Note: The term "Flowmeter" used in the data tables and is equivalent to the word "rotameter" used in this manual.
A.2.2 Example 2
To determine generated dew/frost point temperatures other than those listed in
page must be used, as shown in the following example. If,
Dry Gas first dilution flowmeter setting F
Dry Gas second dilution flowmeter setting F
Wet Gas flowmeter setting = 20 cc/min F
Wet Gas diluted flowmeter setting F
Thermometer reading T = 20°C
and, P
= 17.535 mm Hg at 20°C (from Table 1 on page 19),

Then,

And, Pw = 0.0375 mm Hg, which is equivalent to a dew/frost point temperature of 48°C (by interpolation).
A.3 Vapor Pressure and Calibration Tables
Table 1 on page 19 is the vapor pressure of water as a function of temperature.
IMPORTANT: Two tables not included in this manual,
factory for each MG-101. These tables are supplied with the unit, and you must use these tables to
operate the MG-101. Since each table is specific to your instrument, you cannot use tables from another
unit. If you lose these tables, contact the factory and duplicates will be provided.
