The gravimetric method for standard leak calibration is already documented and has proven to be repeatable. However, neglecting the air buoyancy correction in some cases may lead to a significant increase of the uncertainty and a bias on the result. The aim of this work is to provide a method for atmospheric leaks calibration using simple mass comparisons and the Monte Carlo method in order to determine the associated uncertainty and check the validity of the GUM approach in specific cases. The main objectives are to provide a guideline on how to quickly and simply calibrate such equipment and take into account the air buoyancy correction despite the lack of knowledge about the standard leak density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
