Calibration
If the leak test (see „Monitoring volumes“ → 87) has been successfully
completed, a gravimetric measurement can determine if the device is within
the limits defined by ISO 8655. The test method required for this is descri-
bed in the testing instructions (SOP).

Accuracy table
The measurements were optained with PD-Tip
II by BRAND.
Distilled water was used as the test liquid.

The nominal volume is the maximum volume printed on the PD-Tip.
The tolerances specified in ISO 8655 are not exceeded.
