SECTION TWO: Introduction
2.1. Product Description
The Gilibrator 3 Dry Cell Calibration System is an easy to use Primary Standard for the
calibration of air sampling equipment. The system includes a high accuracy, volumetric
flow meter that provides quick air flow readings and cumulative averaging of multiple
samples. Three Dry Cell Assemblies provide a wide range of flow rates and are easily
interchangeable using the quick release system for mounting the Flow Cell to the Base.
Features of the Gilibrator 3 Dry Cell Calibration System include an easy-to-read color
touch screen LCD display; multi-screen user interface with drop down menus and
screen keyboard input capabilities; corrections for standard temperature and pressure;
statistical analysis and confidence level percentages; ability to save and name
individual calibration records; and the ability to preview and export calibration records
in Bitmap and CSV formats. You can also specify the number of samples to be taken
(3 to 20) for averaging.
Gilibrator 3 Dry Cell Calibration System Kits include a Dry Cell Assembly (Flow Cell),
Control Unit Base (Base), Battery Charger, Tubing, Adapters, Fittings and Manual.
Interchangeable Flow Cell Assemblies are available as follows:

2.2. Theory of Operation
To be a primary standard, all values must be absolute and measured as absolute. A
primary standard airflow measurement is a volume divided by a time interval as
performed by the Control Unit of the Gilibrator 3 Dry Cell Calibration System. The
volume (V) is measured volume of space between a pair of sensors. The time (t) is that
interval needed for the puck to travel between the two sensors which bound the
volume. Thus, the volume per unit of time (V/t) becomes the flow rate. Because the
electronic clock is far more accurate than the volume measurements, the volume
measurement accuracy determines the overall accuracy of the unit.
The Gilibrator 3 Dry Cell Calibration System consists of two elements, the Dry Flow
Cell Assembly and the Control Unit Base. The function of the Flow Cell Assembly is to
provide a means for measuring the puck traveling up a flow tube through a known
volume of space.
Measurement of the travel time is done by means of a reflective sensor array mounted
along the flow tube. The volume bound by these sensors is set accurately to a primary
volume standard.
As the puck moves up the tube, the device records the time between a pair of sensors.
Once a complete cycle has occurred, the time difference between the sensors
becomes the elapsed travel time. This timing information (along with the volume
information) is sent to the microprocessor in the Control Unit Base. The calculated flow
and sample information are then displayed directly on the Liquid Crystal Display.
