21 technique

Using the condensation technique of pumping in vacuum chambers with walls cooled by liquid helium and having volume of about 1 1, the pressure of lo-l5 torr has been recorded for all gases except helium isotopes. For pumping of He4 a condensation pump has been developed with a temperature of condensation surface of 0.24”K and the He4 pressure of lo-” torr has been attained. In bakeable ultrahigh vacuum systems with volume of about 100 1 and pumped by hydrogen or helium condensation pumps the base pressure of 2 x lo- ’ 3 torr has been attained at chamber walls at room temperature. At pumping high amounts of hydrogen by the helium condensation pump the pressure 1 x lo-lo torr has been attained. S F Grishin et al, Probl Atomic Sci Technol, Coll, Kharkov 1971, 5-10 (in Russian).

469. Measurement

22 of vacuum reached by cryogenic pumping methods.

(USSR) Peculiarities of measurement of vacuum at low temperatures are considered. It is shown that the cold cathode magnetron discharge gauges are the most suitable in low temperature conditions. Calibration of vacuum gauges is also discussed. It is shown that the well known dependences of saturation vapour pressure of various substances on temperature can be easily used for calibration of vacuum gauges in the ultrahigh vacuum range. Using the saturation vapour pressures of H, and NZ, both hot cathode and cold cathode ionization gauges were calibrated. Using a chamber immersed in liquid helium, a Redhead magnetron gauge was calibrated in the pressure range of 10e6 to lo-l5 torr. The hot cathode and inverted magnetron gauges were calibrated in the pressure range 10v8 to lo-l2 torr using the calibrating gas at room temperature.

range l-lo-’ torr. The low pressure limit is determined both by permeation of oxygen through the electrolyte and interaction with active residual gases such as CO, H, and hydrocarbons. The response of the cell to changes in oxygen pressure is dependent on the pressure and independent of the electrolyte temperature over the range 600800°C. The rate of approach to a steady-state following step changes in oxygen pressure over the range ~10-7-10-4 torr can be represented by the empirical equation (d E/d t)aAEm, where E is the cell emf, t is time, AE is the departure of the emf from the steady-state value, m = 1 for step increases in pressure, and m = 1.5 for step decreases in pressure. The time constant for relaxation following an increase in pressure has been measured as =[8 x 10-5/P0,(torr)l s, where PO, is the vacuum oxygen pressure.
