High-Vacuum Technology: A Practical Guide, Second Edition (Rev and Expanded)

Overview

Offering a basic understanding of each important topic in vacuum science and technology, this book examines pumping issues, emphasizing the behavior of vacuum pumps and vacuum systems, and explaining the relationships between pumps, instrumentation, and high-vacuum system performance. The author delineates the technical and theoretical aspects of the subject and leads readers through the subtleties of vacuum technology without relying on a cumbersome dissertation on mathematics. An interesting blend of easy-to-understand, technician-level information combined with engineering data and formulae, the book provides a non-analytical introduction to high-vacuum technology.
