Free Space
Measured
Measured free-space volumes are calculated using the following equations:
where:
P
1
= system manifold pressure before dosing helium onto sample
P
2
= system manifold pressure after dosing helium onto sample
P
3
= sample pressure after raising dewar and equilibrating with helium
T
amb
= approximate room temperature (298 K)
T
bath
= analysis bath temperature (K)
T
man
= system manifold temperature before dosing helium onto sample (K)
T
STD
= standard temperature (273.15 K)
V
bath
= portion of cold free space at analysis bath temperature
V
fc
= volume of free space, cold (cm
3
at standard temperature)
V
fw
= volume of free space, warm (cm
3
at standard temperature)
V
man
= manifold volume (cm

)
