Classify vapor lock risk based on saturation margin computes saturation_margin in °C and vapor_lock_risk_level in enum{low, medium, high} using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. saturation_margin is expressed in °C; vapor_lock_risk_level is expressed in enum{low, medium, high}. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.
Worked Example
default_test
Given:
- t_bub = 132
- t_max = 125
Expected Result:
- saturation_margin = 7
- vapor_lock_risk_level = 7
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: saturation_margin = 7 °C; vapor_lock_risk_level = 7 enum{low, medium, high}.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
saturation_margin = t_bub-t_maxsaturation_margin; vapor_lock_risk_level.
