Vacuum technology finds itself in many areas of industry and research. These include materials handling packaging gas sampling filtration degassing of oils and metals thin-film coating electron microscopy particle acceleration and impregnation of electrical components. It is vital to design systems that are appropriate to the application and with so many potential solutions this can become overwhelming. Vacuum Technique provides an overview of vacuum technology its different design methodologies and the underlying theory. The author begins with a summary of the properties of low-pressure gases then moves on to describe mathematical modeling of gas transfer in the vacuum system the operation of pumps and gauges computer-aided synthesis and analysis of systems and the design of different vacuum systems. In particular the author discusses the structure and characteristics of low middle high and superhigh vacuum systems as well as the characteristics of joints materials movement inputs and all aspects of production technology and construction standards. Using specific examples rather than describing the various elements Vacuum Technique supplies engineers technicians researchers and students with needed expertise and a comprehensive guide to designing selecting and using an appropriate vacuum system for a specific purpose.
