Abstract
We are going to investigate a primary static expansion standard for calibration of vacuum gauges for pressures ranging from 1 kPA to 1.0E-3 Pa. This standard is based on a precise generation of an initial pressure in the rough vacuum range and on a static expansion principle, which leads at a constant temperature of an expansion system to the establishment of certain pressures in the middle and in the high vacuum range. We will study different measurement procedures for the determination of an initial pressure and an expansion ratio as well as the effect of a surrounding temperature and sorption effects on the internal surfaces of the expansion vessel influencing the final measurement uncertainty. - We are going to investigate also a primary method for the determination of small gas flows, such as He flows ranging from 1.0E-12 to 1.0E-15 mol/s. This method is based on measurements of the pressure rise rate in a known volume at a constant temperature. As a source of small gas flows we will use a permeation reference standard, which is based on He permeation from a bigger metallic reservoir, filled with a certain concentration of He, through a glass membrane into vacuum. This standard will be connected to a calibration volume equipped with a sensor which is a part of the gauge head of a spinning rotor gauge. We will study different procedures for the determination of the calibration volume as well as the effects of a surrounding temperature and a residual pressure rise, due to gas desorption from the internal surfaces of the calibration volume, influencing the final measurement uncertainty.
