Summary The functional residual capacity (V FRC ) was measured in ten normal adults and 23 normal children (11 girls and 12 boys), ranging in age from 6–15 years by a closed circuit method with helium as the test gas. Three assays, with some hours' to several days' interval, have shown a day‐to‐day variation of about ± 6% in the three groups (± 7.5% for the adults, ± 3.7% for the boys and ± 5.8% for the girls).
