Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC)
has been a long-time user of Paroscientific Pressure Instruments.
This selection was made because of the accuracy, high resolution,
reliability and long-term stability of Paroscientific Instruments
and the demanding nature of WSRC's applications.
The SWIM air flow calibration facility at WSRC provides gas flow
calibration for both process (IPI) and secondary calibration
(M&TE) equipment to many site users. Equipment such as process
flow instruments, variable area meters used in chemical processes,
heating and ventilating testers and Industrial Hygiene
applications, are calibrated at predetermined intervals to assure
flow indications are accurate.
To determine flow with high accuracy, the calibration air stream
passes through a flow element producing a proportional pressure.
The flow this pressure indicates is then refined using temperature
and high accuracy
Digiquartz Broadband Barometer readings with a Model 710
Display (New
Model 715 Display). These refinements
provide the air mass characteristics which allow the
standardization of all flow readings. The accuracy of the
barometer has to be consistent with that of the other parts of the
information chain, as the result is directly proportional to the mass
of the flowing media. |
