Using characterized variable reservoir helium permeation leaks to generate low flows

Abstract

Fixed reservoir helium permeation leaks are frequently used to generate known flows for calibration of leak detectors. Determination of the flow from helium permeation leaks becomes difficult in the low flow range (10^-12 mol/s, 2x10^-8 std. cc/s 273.15 K, and below) which is of high interest to industrial and government users.
