Product Description

This guide to quantitative problem solving in vacuum technology is aimed at newcomers, students and the experienced practitioner. It contains essential information and worked examples for those using vacuum technology in chemical applications and who are involved in the design and operation of vacuum equipment. Using step-by-step solutions of example calculations and formulae, the book sets out to encourage readers to quantify their own systems so that they can ensure efficient operation and fault finding. Whilst emphasising the use of appropriate units in calculations and using well known expressions in vacuum technology throughout, the book includes: formulae necessary for quantitative vacuum technology; commonly required data for common gases in tabulated form; and schematic diagrams of systems and layouts.

Customer Reviews

Very well explained
An excellent book clearly written with extensive worked examples throughout. Formulea are developed from first principles and well explained to give the reader an idea of what they actually mean in physical terms, yet developed thoroughly to an advanced level applicable to the design of advanced vacuum systems. (Includes a table of some ISO 3753:1977 / BS554:1978 vacuum symbols).
Reference is made to different types of pumps, pressure sensors, outgassing of materials etc. but this is primarily a book aimed at explaining, and calculating; flows, pumping rates, pressure differentials in vacuum equipment etc.- if only other books took this much effort to explain their mathematics!
