Thermal Transpiration Correction
During data reduction, thermal transpiration correction is applied to the data if the user selected Apply
thermal transpiration correction from the Report Options window. Starting with the first collected
pressure, the following calculations are performed until the pressure ratio (PC/P) is greater than or
equal to 0.99.
where:
= Weber’s coefficient, 0.033
= Weber’s coefficient, 0.245
F,Y, = intermediate values for subsequent calculations
G = Weber’s coefficient, 2.5
H = Weber’s coefficient, 2
