Make sure that the welding system is calibrated to be within 90 Newtons (20 lbs) of target. The force is determined by the air pressure provided into the weld gun air cylinder. A conversion factor is required to convert the air pressure in PSI or MPa into force in pouds or kilo newtons.

The weld force target to be used for RAFT on DCIT portable weld gun stations will be explained later on.
