    Air leak rate conversion

    rb1957 so am I crazy??? or does this look right (ΔP = 0.063 psi / sec) to you?

    Air leak rate conversion

    rb1957 looking at it another way... (as in a bubble of 0.0027in3 p/sec) Converting: .00027 cubic inch into Psi - using Ideal Gas Law. All constant variables reduced. P1V1 = P2V2 P2=P1V1/V2 = ((23.3) (1in3))/((.9973 in3)) - knowns (14.7+8.6 absolute pressure) P2 = 23.36...

    OK got it. Thanks

    Air leak rate conversion

    hi rb1957 question, why wouldn't Ptest not be 160603.6Pa ?

    Air leak rate conversion

    Meant to say... "part (is NOT sealed hermitically). Not that it matters.... been a long day.. rb1957... I follow you on the atm, psig etc... but maybe im tired I don't see how you derived at P = 56629 ? Thanks for help by the way.

    Air leak rate conversion

    errr I keep getting pulled off this to do other things sorry. n = 293*.0001782(Vm3) / 8.314*293.13 The part is communication amplifier device (is sealed but hermitically).

    Air leak rate conversion

    Hmmm, the vol leak rate (0.0027) is actually the max LR spec. which I need to know in psi. the PL of .008 psi is what the machine is capable of catching known fails at. i'll review... thx rb1957

    Air leak rate conversion

    littlrich... a chamber (alum box, with a unit in it) is filled with 8.6 psi for testing a unit (so 1 atm + 8.6), V in cc. Pa absolute Pascal. machine is fairly repeatable, again this was handed down to me.

    Air leak rate conversion

    not homework really, have a pressure loss of .008 psi on a leak tester was told that it equated to 0.0027 cubic inch p/second but I need to prove this. The people who originally set this up are no longer here and the Leak test company no longer in biz. leak tester (provides external pressure...

    Air leak rate conversion

    hi I was given more more info... it is a fixed temperature, measuring a volume air leak - as in leaking tank of air. T=298.15 k n= 0.01154 R= 8.314

    Air leak rate conversion

    actually I don't see how PV=nRT would give me psi?

    Air leak rate conversion

    Hmmm I only know the 0.0027 cubic inch p/second to psi p/second leakrate... I don't know the atmospheric / temp conditions. isn't there a more direct way to convert?

    Air leak rate conversion

    how do I convert 0.0027 cubic inch p/second to psi p/second? help please. appreciate it thanks b
