Effects of Pressure Variations
Under conditions of
typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately
from mean values.
-0.7%
Under conditions of
typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately
from mean values.
-4.2%
Under conditions of
typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately
from mean values.
+4.4%
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those
of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in short-term
variations result under these pressure conditions.
Effects of Negative Solution Container Heights
With a negative head height of
typically exhibits a long-term accuracy offset of approximately
from mean values.
-3.1%
Resulting trumpet observation points typically track those
of accuracy; therefore, no significant change in short-term
variations result under negative head height conditions.
Syringe Module
Trumpet and start-up curves have been provided for
and mL/h. Measurements for trumpet curve rates below
5.0
mL/h are not provided because of the difficulty in
1.0
measuring extremely small volumes over a large duration of
time. In this case, the linear relationship of the plunger position
and velocity to syringe volume and rate is verified, and is a
function of the accuracy of the design.
