A typical process pressure set point verification set up.
The cart’s pressure standards are removed from its storage drawer and placed near the process tool’s manometer port. This is facilitated by using a combination isolation valve such as the MKS’ IDA™ In Situ Diagnostic Access Isolation Valve. When the pressure standard is connected to the isolation valve’s access port, it can be used to verify the accuracy of the gauge and check the system’s set point pressure.
