Operational leakage rates of various working fluids predicted from test data. Method converts leakage through fixed area flow passage from one set of fluid conditions to another. Correction factor improves correlation of measured engine static seal leak rate under test conditions with rate under operating conditions. Potential applications include extrapolating from test conditions to operating condition.
