Relation between minimum measurable flow and diameter (mm) at a pressure of − 0.8 MPa for different rotor sizes. Note that this relationship is dependent on the geometry of the reservoir mainly. For comparison, typical minimal flow achieved with the gravimetric method by a 0.0001 g precision balance is plotted (discontinue line). The flow measured by the balance is not dependent on the diameter of the sample, but on the resolution of the balance
