Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1.	How can Falcon^® save us money?
2.	What is the difference between “actual cc/m”, cc/m, and “std cc/m?”
3.	Should I use “actual cc/m” or “standard cc/m” (sccm)?
4.	What is a 15 micron hole?
5.	Why does a 15 micron hole cost so much? Is there a less expensive solution?
6.	What is a 20 micron hole?
7.	Why does a 20 micron hole cost so much? Is there a less expensive solution?
8.	How can I use “Quik Test” to test parts faster without compromising the leak test quality?
9.	How does the “Auto Cal” feature in CTS products benefit me?
10.	How can I use the “Process Drift” feature in the majority of CTS products to help me increase my test quality?
11.	How can I avoid exhausting the dirty air from my part through the leak test?
12.	Does Cincinnati Test Systems offer Preventive Maintenance Contracts on your instruments or systems?
13.	If the pressure readings are not correct on my Sentinel I-21, B-21, or F-21 instruments, how do I adjust the span of the instrument to correct the pressure readings?
14.	How can I leak test a liquid filled container when it has just a small amount of air inside?
15.	How do you decide what is an acceptable leak rate specification?
16.	Do you have an installation bulletin for your leak test instruments? I need to know mounting, wiring, and plumbing information before I receive the instrument and the instruction manual.
17.	Since the Sentinel M24 instruments are capable of communicating two-way over Ethernet, RS-485, RS-232, and IrDA, does this communication require special software?
18.	How can I estimate my leak rate if I am currently performing a dunk tank test?
19.	Is there a way to calculate the hole size for our leak test specification?
20.	How does temperature change affect pressure decay and mass flow testing?
21.	How does volume change affect pressure decay and mass flow testing?
22.	How is the pressure decay to leak rate formula derived from the Ideal Gas Law?
