Abstract:This is a preliminary description of a new method of determining absolute pressure which is based on the simultaneous measurement of length and ultrasonic transit times. This method has been used to determine the transition pressure of pure mercury at 0 "C at 7571.2 1 6 bar. It is particularly advantageous to use for calibrating secondary gauges such as manganin gauges inasmuch as it gives a highly accurate measurement of nonlinearities in such secondary gauges. The gauge calibrated in the present study reache… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
