“…In conventional instruments the pressure has to balance the piston weight, whereby the lowest generated pressure is limited to just a few kilopascals. A delicate laboratory device for vacuum applications was built several years ago [4]. It offers excellent resolution (2 10 -6 Pa), but its relative uncertainty (10 -2 or 8 10 -3 depending on range) is far too great to meet modern demands.…”

Static gas expansion provides a convenient primary standard for calibrating pressure gauges in the medium vacuum range. This paper reports on a thorough investigation of the fundamental principle, possible disturbances and achievable uncertainty of such an apparatus. The method is described and model equations for the general case of a non-isothermal expansion of a real gas are derived. As temperature effects play an essential role in the uncertainty budget, the vessels of the apparatus were immersed in a temperature-controlled circulating water bath. In addition, the inherent transient temperature effects originating from the gas expansion process itself were studied experimentally, which leads to a better understanding of these effects. As a result, uncertainties caused by temperature effects could be substantially reduced. Furthermore, deviations between different real gases were studied. The investigations led to greater accuracy of the primary standard apparatus, i.e. an expanded relative uncertainty of 1 10 -3 at a pressure of 10 Pa and of 5 10 -4 at 1000 Pa.
