Using FGA for taking pressure measurements

[RBG]

Hello all,

I have an Anton FGA and have tried a few times to use it for taking pressures - let by, tightness etc but find it very frustrating to get the gas mb right. I find it very sensitive to turning the gas on esp at the meter and can never get close to the number I want. I find it far easier with the u gauge. I have tried using the hose with the little let off valve to get it closer but find that takes more time and effort to get close than the u gauge is.

Any tips..as to what i am going wrong.

Slowly increase the pressure you will see it climb in 0.2 or 0.3 mbars leave it till at correct pressure then slowly shut off if you go over remove the hose from the fga not the meter stnd run 1 mbar 1 second out / off

Put the tube on while the gas is still on unless it’s difficult or internally
