Design and evaluation of a primary high-vacuum standard

Abstract: Calibration pressures in the high- and ultrahigh-vacuum range are conveniently generated by the expansion of gas in a continuous flow. The design and the performance of a new continuous (often called dynamic) expansion standard and a partly computer-controlled flowmeter are reported. Pressures are generated from 10−6 to 10−2 Pa with uncertainties (2σ, linear addition of individual uncertainties) between 1% and 4%. A comparison with a static expansion standard was carried out and showed good conformity between … Show more

“…In the medium pressure range 0.1 Pa to 1000 Pa, mercury manometers are not suitable and the characteristics of continuous expansion systems become poorly deˆned, as they depend on pressure, so primary standards are based on static expansion of a gas 25) . That is why, the static expansion systems (also called volume or series expansions systems) are used as primary standards for the calibration of vacuum gauges 26,27) .…”

“…No gas molecules can go in the opposite direction from the pumping chamber as there is zero pressure as a consequence of the infinitely large pumping speed. Thus, inclusion of the finite pumping speed in equation ( 3) obeys the fact that the pumping chamber contains non-zero gas number density of molecules and that gas molecules also impinge on the area of the orifice from this side [4]. However, the gas flowing through the orifice from the calibration chamber to the pumping chamber also contains molecules that (depending on the particular arrangement) pass directly into the inlet of the pump, are pumped out and thus cannot impinge on the orifice from the opposite side.…”
