request within 5% of the requested value.
9 The calibrated leaks must be used with clean, dry air.
9 The leaks must not be dipped in water. It is essential that they are stored in their
case after use.
9 The leaks must be checked periodically by the company's metrology department or
by the ATEQ metrology service.
9 Check that there is an 0-ring seal and that is in good condition.
9 The instrument zero check must be done by replacing the leak with a sealing connector
and not by sealing off the leak itself.
9 To check that the leak has not been blocked, attach a piece of flexible tubing to its
extremity and submerge this in water to watch for bubbles.
