Applications of non evaporable getter pump in vacuum metrology

Abstract

Applications of non evaporable getter pump in vacuum metrology are reviewed and discussed with a special focus on static expansion primary vacuum standard, and flow division method ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and extremely high vacuum (XHV) standard. The results obtained show that the non evaporable getter pump is suited for extending the calibration lower limit, and it is a valuable supplement to the basic methods. The feasibility of use of non evaporable getter pump in constant conductance method vacuum leak standard is also discussed.
