    Söring 25/08/2004 © Service-Manual Arco- and RF-units 14.3.7. Measurement of gas-flow For these measurements a gas-flow meter is required (e.g. gas-flow meter from Brooks) or an electronic gas flow meter calibrated for Argon at normal pressure. Connect gas-nozzle of gas handpieces and probes to the flow-meter. Select Argon-step 1 - 5 (for values see table "Technical gas data") and check gas- flow for each step.
