Consistent distension
Performance > 9110 SGT
Elevated temperature capability
Minimize opportunities for trapped particulate
Minimal flow path length
Isolated flow paths –
No metal in the filtered test section of the flow loop
Active computer control & DAQ of:
–! Diameter controlled distension –! Pressure controlled distension –! Flow & temperature –! DAQ of individual tube flow –! Capture filter status & switching –! All system limits and actuations
Integrate Laser Micrometer w/control software

Technologies
Bose proprietary manifolds ensure each tube distends equally (#1 = #6 = #12)
capital equipment
FDA requires minimum of (1) control tube for each machine.
This gives (11) useful tubes/test
