What is the purpose of a spirometer
to derive a correction factor
graph is volume on y-axis and time on x-axis
correction factor
to report correct lung volume based on the body temp. and body pressure
it is used to account for the difference in temperature and pressure going from ATPS conditions to BTPS conditions
(Tb + 273/Ta + 273) • (760 - PH2O @Ta/760 - PH2O @Tb)
ATPS
Ambient Temperature and Pressure Saturated
the volume of gas is DEPENDENT upon the AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (given) at a barometric pressure that is saturated with water vapor (760 mmHg outer)
BTPS
Body Temperature and Pressure Saturated
the volume of gas is DEPENDENT upon the BODY TEMPERATURE (37°C) at a barometric pressure that is saturated with water (47 mmHg in body)
Temperature from C to Kelvin (K)
C° + 273
Pressure measured in…
mmHg
Charles’s Law
the volume of a gas maintained at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas (constant pressure)
Vbtps= Vatps • (Tb + 273/Ta + 273)
Boyle’s Law
the pressure of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas
Vbtps= Vatps • (760 - PH2O @Ta/760 - PH2O @Tb)
Ambient Temperature
as ambient temperature approches 37° the correction factor approches 1
