Dear Mr. Stewart:

This is in reference to your March 9, 2007 letter in which you again ask about possible tolerance requirements for the permanent expansion reading for the calibrated cylinder.

As stated in my February 15, 2007 letter (ref. No.: 07-0002), the cylinder requalifier must use a calibrated cylinder or other approved method to verify the accuracy of the test equipment system. When the calibrated cylinder is pressurized, the test equipment must be verified as accurate within ± 1.0% of the calibrated cylinder’s pressure and the corresponding expansion value shown on the cylinder calibration certificate. When the pressure is released, 1.his calibration process requires that the calibrated cylinder exhibit no permanent expansion as specifically stated in § 180.205(g)(4).

I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you have additional questions.

Sincerely yours,

 

Hattie L. Mitchell
