Abstract:
A calibration/test device and method of a mass flowmeter equipped on a vacuum system are provided to improve efficiency of quality control by calibrating/testing the mass flowmeter with comparing it with a reference mass flowmeter attached to a mobile correction device. A calibration/test device of a mass flowmeter equipped on a vacuum system comprises a vacuum valve(14) and a mass flowmeter valve(16) to be corrected, which are serially installed in a pipeline, a connection port(18) connecting the vacuum valve and the mass flowmeter valve, and a mobile mass flowmeter correction device(100) connected to the connection port. The mobile mass flowmeter correction device includes a vacuum chamber(110) connected to the connection port, a chamber valve(114) connecting the vacuum chamber and the connection port, a reference mass flowmeter(116) connecting the chamber valve and the connection port, a reference mass flowmeter valve(118) regulating the gas flux, an air escape(120) exhausting the gas, a gate valve(122) connected between the vacuum chamber and the air escape, and a measuring unit measuring the physical properties of the gas flowing within the vacuum chamber.
