Ordering Information
The RLS Calibrators can be ordered for almost all Refrigerants and for 10:1-adjustable leak rate ranges that cover all common rates. For an order or RFQ, please provide the Part Number and also specify the Leak Rate Range and Units that you require using the tables below. If you have any technical or ordering questions, please contact us for assistance.

Part Number Build-Up
The RLS Series Part Numbers are constructed as follows:
RLS-XXXX-YYYY-LFT-ZZZ
where XXXX = the "R" code for the Refrigerant requested,
where YYYY = the code (the central leak rate) for the adjustable leak rate range requested,
where LFT = the code for the standard sniffer-probe interface tube that surrounds the capillary leak element and provides the recess for the sniffer probe during detector calibration,
and ZZZ = the special code (LGF) for an optional customized scale on the pressure-gauge face, and/or the special code (WFV) for a non-standard valve required for some refrigerants. If neither applies, there is no entry after LFT; if both apply, there are two entries.
Common refrigerants are listed by their "R" codes in the Table above right and others are available. Listed in the tables below are the codes (central leak rates) for the various Adjustable Leak-Rate Ranges that are available expressed in the three Leak Rate Units most commonly used.
The LGF code is used to add an optional scale to the pressure-gauge face that reads in actual leak rate units (e.g., oz/year) instead of pressure units. This customized scale is computer printed based on the calibration data and is pasted over the inner "bar units" scale of the gauge. The outer scale of the gauge is in "psi" and remains visible. Instead of this option, most RLS users read the gauge in the more precise pressure units and use the pressure vs leak-rate graph provided.
The special "ZZZ" code is WFV for the non-standard fill valve on the liquid refrigerant reservoir that is required for some refrigerants, as identified in the table above.
Leak Rate Ranges Available and Example Part Numbers
Note that leak rates other than those listed below can be custom ordered. Additionally, you may specify a single leak rate within the indicated ranges and only that leak rate and its corresponding pressure will be listed on the Calibration Data Tag and Certifications, and only that rate will be shown on the optional customized pressure-gauge face if ordered.
