4. INSTRUMENTATION
4.1 Accuracy and Precision. Measurements from the instruments shall be traceable to primary or secondary standards calibrated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) if a…
6 4.2 Temperature
4.3 Pressure
4.4 Barometers. Barometers shall be calibrated to traceable standards per Section 4.1.
4.5 Flowmeters. Flowmeter shall be an orifice or laminar flowmeter.
4.6 Dial Indicators. Dial indicators shall have jewel bearings, a suitable range, and 0.01 mm graduations.
5. TESTS
5.1 Tests to be conducted are listed below. At the discretion of the sponsor, a specific test specimen for more than one test is permitted.
5.2 At the discretion of the sponsor, it is acceptable to omit individual tests.
5.3 When required by the sponsor, a leakage test shall be conducted before and after an individual test.
6. LEAKAGE TEST
7 6.1 Test Specimen and Test Pressure. The duct assembly and test pressure shall be specified by the sponsor. The ends of the duct assembly shall have sealed end caps.
