In this paper, two new methods for obtaining the sonic conductance and the critical pressure ratio of pneumatic valves are proposed. Both methods use a chamber that can approximate isothermal conditions. This was achieved by filling the chamber with metal wire, which creates a larger heat transfer area and heat transfer coefficient. The sonic conductance and the critical pressure ratio are obtained by measuring the pressure in the chamber during charging and discharging. These methods take only seconds to perform and require less energy than the ISO 6358 procedure. The major factor in the error for the pressure response during the charging of the isothermal chamber is the upstream pressure change. Nevertheless, the sonic conductance can be determined within a 3% uncertainty. In addition, the sonic conductance calculated from the pressure response during the discharging of the chamber can be determined within a 1.2% uncertainty.

In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the flow rate characteristic parameters directly by using an integral algorithm which is not needed to calculate the flow rate. In the isothermal discharge method discussed by ISO, the flow rate characteristics of pneumatic components can be obtained by pressure response and flow rate. The pressure response is measured in an isothermal tank and the flow rate can be given by differentiating the measured pressure response. Because of using the differential algorithm, calculation precision for measurement error and distribution is much poorer. By integrating pressure experimental result with least error method, characteristics can be obtained easily with Excel tool. Some experimental results are given to show that the proposed calculation method in this paper is more effective than the conversational method by using pressure sensors with different precision.
