Understand how gases behave at very low pressures in high‑vacuum work. This edition compiles experiments, data, and practical insights into adsorption, gas sorption on charcoal, and the factors that influence vacuum measurements and measurement accuracy. It covers foundational experiments, interpretation of results, and the behavior of different gases under extreme conditions, helping researchers plan and interpret high‑vacuum experiments.
Readers gain a clear view of the relationships between pressure, adsorbed volume, and temperature. The text presents graphical data, tables, and discussion of how adsorption changes with gas type and operating temperature, plus historical notes on key methods and researchers in the field.
- How adsorption is measured and interpreted at low pressures.
- Character differences in adsorption power among nitrogen, hydrogen, neon, and other gases.
- How temperature and pressure influence adsorption behavior and practical vacuum work.
- Historical and experimental context for foundational theories and tables used in high vacuum labs.
Ideal for readers of technical vacuum manuals, laboratory researchers, and students seeking a solid, data‑driven background in gas adsorption and high‑vacuum measurements.
