Vacuum Tester
Easy vacuum tester. Never needs calibration. Water temp down to -18 deg C
I wonder how much that is in microns..

Re: Vacuum Tester
we only see how vacuum freeze water for 0 degree C point - not how much below it.
0 degree C water (water/ice) = 6.1 mBar = 4570 micron
-10 degree C water (ice) = 2.599 mBar = 1950 micron
-18 degree C water (ice) = 1.27 mBar = 952 micron
(edit - missing multiply 1000 times on micron value in convension from mBar, this is corrected now)Last edited by xxargs; 01-07-2012 at 11:12 PM.

Re: Vacuum Tester
Heyyy.... Thanks for that.
Can you tell me the formula you use to get to this figure.? That would be handy for me to know..
Cheers mate

Re: Vacuum Tester
I take pressure value over water/ice from refprop, but possible source if you want formula, you can find here http://cires.colorado.edu/~voemel/vp.html - is not easy relation in simple formula and also many formula from different scientists author to select between - pick one you trust most :-)...
conversion between micron and mBar is easy
(micron/1000) * (1/0.75) = mBar
mBar * 0.75 * 1000 = micron

Re: Vacuum Tester
Hi xxargs..
I clicked on that link and I think those formulas are very easy to understand. . . . . . . . . Not..... hehehe....
Thanks again mate... cheers
