to make correction card corrections. These tasks
CORRECTION CARDS
Before you operate the 59A120 test stand,
individual correction cards for the following
components must be prepared: DF-1, PG-1,
PG-4, FLM-1, FLM-2, FLM-3, and FLM-4.
These correction cards must be prepared prior to
calibration of the 59A120 test stand.
To perform calibration and to prepare correction
cards, you will need the Flowmeter Calibration
Kit and the four graphs that are supplied with the
kit for that particular test stand. Each kit will be
serialized with the same number as the serial
number of the test stand.
To prepare the cards, convert the actual
l i t e r - p e r - m i n u t e ( l p m ) f l o w s t o i n d i c a t ed
millimeter (mm) flows on cards 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Refer to figure 1-2 in the following steps:
1 . U s i n g t h e a p p l i c a b l e g r a p h f o r t he
flowmeter selected, locate the desired lpm at the
bottom of the graph.
2. Trace the selected lpm lineup to where it
intersects the graph line.
3. Trace the line from point of intersection
to the left-hand edge of the graph to determine
mm. Enter this figure in the appropriate column
