Download or read book Total Pressure Measurements in Vacuum Technology written by A. Berman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total Pressure Measurements in Vacuum Technology focuses on the measurement of low total pressure in hostile environments or in the presence of magnetic fields. This book emphasizes the general processes and problems involved in measurement techniques and physical principles on which vacuum gauges operate, rather than on the detailed description of the gauges. The design and techniques involved in the use of special instruments that determine "pressure or gas density, such as pressure converters or radioactive gauges, are also described. This publication is mainly intended for graduate students and research scientists who have a good general background in physics and engineering.
