Verify an ATEQ Instrument Using a Calibrated Leak In this video, an ATEQ Application Engineer demonstrates how to use a calibrated leak/jet to check the accuracy of the readings displayed on a leak or flow tester, like the D620 flow tester. It is important to regularly check the accuracy of your instrument's leak readings by attaching known calibrated leak to the tester to ensure the most accurate test results since any measurement reading tends to drift over time. For example, you may want to verify your home scale by putting a known weight onto it every so often. If you put a 10 pound weight on your scale, and the reading on the scale doesn't match, the measurement device will have to be recalibrated. 

Understanding Leak Rates Through the Ideal Gas Law The metrology science of leak testing can get very complicated and involve many complex mathematical formulas. The most important and basic formula used in leak testing is the Ideal Gas Law (also referred to as Boyle's Law or Mariotte’s law). This empirical relation was formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662 to show the relationship between the expansion and compression of gas at a constant temperature. It states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (V) at constant temperature (T). Mathematically, volume and pressure are have inverse proportionality in the Ideal Gas Law. Think of a car tire vs. a bike tire. The average pressure needed to inflate the larger volume car tire is 33 PSI whereas a narrow road bike tire, which has a much smaller volume than a car tire, requires between 80-130 PSI of pressure.
