Mass Spectrometer Helium Leak Certication

Mass spectrometer helium leak certication is available on all products

manufactured by GO Regulator. With this service, we can provide test certication
up to 2 10- standard cc/sec helium. The choice of inboard or outboard testing
is also available.
When requesting test certication, specify the desired leak specication and
whether inboard or outboard testing is to be performed.

plumbing. When ow requirements are at low pressures, the plumbing may be the ow limiting item rather
than the regulator or valve.

Determine Cv required for a regulator when inlet pressure (P1) is equal or greater than two times
outlet pressure (P2) and the following items are known:

Flow Calculations for GO Regulator Products

Definitions:
Cv:

Flow coecient for regulators and valves that expresses ow capabilities of a unit at full open condition. For liquids,
this coecient is dened as the ow of water at 60 F in gallons per minute at a pressure drop of one psig. For gases,
this coecient is dened as the ow of air at standard conditions in standard cubic feet per minute for each psig of
inlet pressure.

SL:

Specic gravity of liquids relative to water, both at standard temperature of 60 F.

(Specic gravity of water = 1.0 @ 60 F).

Sg :

Specic gravity of a gas relative to air; equals the ratio of the molecular weight of the gas to that of air.
(Specic gravity of air = 1.0 @ 60 F).

P:

Line pressure (psia).

P1:

Inlet pressure expressed in psia.

P2:

Outlet pressure expressed in psia.

DP:

Dierential pressure (P1 P2).

psia:

Absolute pressure which is gauge pressure (PSIG) plus 14.7 (atmospheric pressure).

QL :

Liquid ow in gallons per minute (GPM).

Qg :

Gas ow in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). (At standard conditions of 60 F and 14.7 psia).

Q:

Volume ow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM).

M:

Mass ow rate in pounds per minute (lbs/min.).
