17、ressure vacuum gauges1 ScopeThis part of ISO 3529 gives definitions of total and partial pressure vacuum gauges. lt is a continuation of ISO 3529-1, which defines general terms used in vacuum technology, and of ISO 3529-2, which gives definitions of vacuum pumps and related terms.The terms for those
18、 gauges are defined, which had been either very important in the past or are important today and normally commercially available or which physical principle is important still today.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.NOTE A tree diagra
