Description
Description
The introductory sections are designed to introduce the reader to basic concepts in vacuum technology. More detailed sections provide fundamental descriptions of basic vacuum pumps and pumping mechanisms in current practice and provides insight into the various pros and cons for each approach. System design, assembly, maintenance, and trouble-shooting are reviewed in detail.
The book also describes a wide range of pressure measurement approaches, and includes several key characterization techniques, example applications on systems for rough vacuum, high vacuum and ultrahigh vacuum, as well as trade-offs in system design. These perspectives will allow the reader to develop an understanding of all the elements required for a successfully designed, assembled, and operating system.
