Just wanted to say THANKS for providing this graph for the Swift FX leak rates. I was just thinking about asking this but did a "search" first and found this thread!robysue wrote:Pugsy wrote:
So---for a Swift FX, here's the expected leak rates graph:
At 4cm, the expected leak rate is about 20 L/min; at 15 cm, the expected leak rate is about 41 L/min; and at 20 cm, the expected leak rate is about 49 L/min. In the "total leak rate" graph for a person using the System One Auto in a range of 4-20 where leaks are not a big issue, it's reasonable to assume that the total leaks will be close to 20 when the pressure is down near 4, but the total leaks should rise up to the neighborhood of 41 L/min once the pressure hits 15cm.
