Many devices depend for their operation upon the establishment of known, uniform electric fields. Unknown contact potentials between the parts of the device often impair its performance. An apparatus has been constructed to measure the magnitude as well as the variation of such contact potentials with an accuracy of ±1 mV under conditions typical of bakeable high vacuum systems.
