The overall objective of this project is to establish an ISO standard for an ionisation vacuum gauge suitable as a transfer gauge between national metrological institutes themselves, manufacturers and users of vacuum gauges. A target relative uncertainty of the final gauge is 1% within the relevant pressure range from 10-6 Pa to 10-2 Pa and for a selection of different gases. This uncertainty includes long term- and transport stability. The project includes literature and material studies, simulations of various gauge geometries, manufacturing of laboratory - and prototype gauges, as well as their testing. |
