where x is the average of the selected samples; n is the number of samples; and xi is the percent difference between the initial calibration flow rate, and the maximum flow rate at any tested pressure level of the ith sample.
Percent difference of a sample = 100 x (Qmax-Qinitial)/Qinitial
Where Qmax is the measured maximum flow rate at any tested pressure level and Qinitial is the measured calibration flow rate.
2. Average flow rate across all tested pressures. The percent difference between the initial calibration flow rate, as determined by the test method in section 1604(x)(1)(A) of this Article, and the flow rate at each tested pressure level, averaged across all pressure levels and all selected samples, shall not exceed ± 10.0 percent.
The average of the selected samples shall be calculated per the following equation:
where x is the average of the selected samples; n is the number of samples; and xi is the percent difference between the initial calibration flow rate and the flow rate at each tested pressure level, averaged across all pressure levels of the ith sample.
Percent difference of a sample = 100 x (Qaverage-Qinitial)/Qinitial
Where Qaverage is the measured flow rate at each tested pressure level, averaged across all pressure levels and Qinitial is the measured flow rate at the initial calibration point of a sample.
3. Minimum outlet pressure. The average outlet pressure at the initial calibration point, as determined by the test method in section 1604(x)(1)(A) of this Article, of the selected samples shall not be less than two-thirds of the regulation pressure.
The average of the selected samples shall be calculated per the following equation:
where x is the average of the samples; n is the number of samples; and xi is the measured minimum outlet pressure at the initial calibration point for the ith sample.
