IN-SITU CALIBRATION EXPLANATIONIN-SITU CALIBRATION EXPLANATION
The reason sage can perform the In-Situ Calibration Check, is due to the meter’s extraordinary reproducibility, even at a “No Flow” (0 SCFM) condition
This reproducibility is a direct result of having developed a hybrid-digital method of driving the sensors vs the drift prone Wheatstone bridge
Essentially, the customer can recreate an identical data point to that taken at Sage, at the one condition they can accurately reproduce – “No Flow” (0 SCFM)
