Two experiments were conducted testing reliability of expansion chamber determined gauge element breakage ranges; 20 trials with sexually functional males provided comparative data on the gauge in actual application. Circumference of the expansion chamber and increases in penile circumference were simultaneously monitored via a mercury strain gauge. Results for both experiments indicated considerable overlap at gauge element breakpoints, and yielded an overall misdiagnosis rate of 15.5% in a young, healthy population.
进行了两项实验，测试膨胀室确定的量具元件破损范围的可靠性；对20名性功能正常的男性进行的试验提供了该量具在实际应用中的比较数据。通过水银应变仪同时监测膨胀室的周长和阴茎周长的增加。两项实验的结果表明，量具元件断点处有相当大的重叠，并且在年轻健康人群中总体误诊率为15.5%。
