11. Production of low pressures 11 1634. Present limitations of the devices used in the production of low pressures. (France) The author reviews the different devices used for obtaining low pressures. Emphasis is on the present limits achieved with particular reference to the question of pumps and contamination of vacuum enclosures. J Amoignon, Le Vide, 121, Jan-Feb 1966, 1-11 (in French).
12. Measurement of low pressures 12 : 22 1635. Instrument measures very small vacuum-pressure change. (USA) An instrument for measuring minimum pressure changes in vacuum systems, such as leakage or outgassing rates, consists of a micromanometer integrally connected with a reference pressure chamber. L D Briee, Chem Eng, 73 (4), 1966, 176.
12 1636. Measurement of low pressures. (Hungary) A review and discussion of publications relating to low pressure measurements; units of pressure used in vacuum science and technology; standardization of terms; and recent research in low pressure measurement.
