VOLUME CALIBRATION REPORT
This report lists the counts (steps moved by the displacement device) during each cycle of a
calibration run. A calibration run is performed using a calibration object of known properties similar to
the sample in size, shape, and quantity. It also reports average envelope volume, standard deviation,
and volume error (the adjustment to the volume attributed to the sample’s shape, size, etc.).
Use the conversion factor in sample runs for samples similar to the calibration object used in this run.
For greater accuracy, perform three calibration runs and average the conversion factors from the
three reports. Use the average as the conversion factor in sample runs for this type sample.
Cycle
Description
Blank counts
The number of steps the motor moved to achieve the consolidation
force specified for the blank run.
Deviation (volume)
The difference between the average envelope volume and the volume
measured for this consolidation cycle.
Sample counts
The number of steps the motor moved to achieve the consolidation
force specified for the sample run.
Volume
The difference between the blank and sample counts, converted by
the analyzer to volume.
