Thus it is critical to measure the inlet flowrate of the sensor before calibration and then set the flowrate of the calibration gas to ~1.1X the sensor flowrate. © Aurora Scientific, 2023 VER. 1.00 page 15... -
Page 16: Calibrated Gas Mixtures Technique
Also note that this method is a volumetric mixing operation and therefore the pressures and temperatures of the two gases must be the same in order to maintain accuracy. Use the calibration procedure outlined in section 4.1.1. © Aurora Scientific, 2023 VER. 1.00 page 16... -

If there is no flow or the measured flow rate is significantly less than the as-shipped flow rate (listed on the miniPID Data Sheet) then perform the following checks. © Aurora Scientific, 2023 VER. 1.00 page 18... - Page 19 5. If step (4) shows that the sample line is okay then the problem is with the pump itself. In this case return the controller to Aurora Scientific Inc. for repair. Do not attempt to open the controller and replace the pump. HIGH VOLTAGE is present inside the controller.
