A wide variety of instruments are available for measuring both the total pressure and the partial pressures of gases present in vacuum systems. Vacuum gages serve many purposes; some of them merely measure the range of the gas density. If it is desired to know the gas density within 5 percent or better, many details concerning ion gage calibration must be given careful consideration. (auth)
