Abstract
The precision of the radiotracer measurement was directly related to the amount of gas lost during the experiment. Thus, the precision is ultimately limited by an ability to follow the dye and conservative tracer, the precision of the kKr:k2 ratio, and the temperature correction θ. The measurement looses precision as velocity and/or time of passage reach definable conditions.
