10、 bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
11、 and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directive
12、s, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

15、 adequately disseminating the pressure scale in the vacuum regime by calibration with a reference gauge.

16、 3567:2011BS ISO 3567:2011INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3567:2011(E)Vacuum gauges Calibration by direct comparison with a reference gauge1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the physical, technical and metrological conditions to be fulfilled when calibrations of vacuum gauges are performed by d
17、irect comparison with a reference gauge. From the conditions described, the design of an apparatus that can perform vacuum gauge calibrations in an adequate manner can be deduced.The vacuum gauges to be calibrated can be of any kind. Many types of gauges consist of several parts. Typically, these ar
18、e: gauge head, cable, operational device and signal read out. This entire set is considered as the unit that has to be calibrated. Whereas, if only the gauge head (i.e. the part of the vacuum gauge directly exposed to the vacuum) is calibrated, all set-ups and conditions would have to be recorded su
19、ch that the user of the calibrated gauge head would be able to perform the measurements in the same manner as during the calibration.The reference gauge is either a calibrated gauge, traceable to a vacuum primary or national standard (normal case), with a calibration certificate according to ISO/IEC
20、 17025, or an absolute measuring instrument (rare case), traceable to the SI units and to which a measurement uncertainty can be attributed.This International Standard does not give guidance on how to treat special types of vacuum gauges, be they reference standards or units under calibration; it is
21、 intended that such guidance be given in other International Standards.The pressure range for calibrations treated in this International Standard depends on the realized design of the calibration apparatus and on the type of reference gauge. The range varies in its limits from 106Pa to 110 kPa.2 Nor

38、y comparison with a reference gauge is done by exposing the entrance flange of the UUC and that of the reference gauge to the same density and velocity distribution of calibration gas molecules. The same density and velocity distribution of these molecules means the same pressure at the two location

Since there are many types of vacuum gauge that do not measure pressure b ut instead, for example, gas density or the impingement rate of gas molecules t he above requisite is both necessary and more stringent than only calling for equal pressures at the two entrance flanges.T
40、he gas density (pressure) in the calibration chamber can be varied and the gauge readings of the UUC compared with the pressures indicated by the reference gauge.From this general principle, the requirements (see Clause 6) for the design of the calibration apparatus are deduced.6 Requirements6.1 Des

42、ective pumping speed, qv,eff(effective volume flow rate into pump), and the total outgassing rate in the calibration chamber, Qout(absence of leaks), is low enough to perform the calibrations, as expressed by Formula (1) (see also 6.3):pQqresoutv,eff= (1)In detail, the calibration chamber shall be d
43、esigned and operated as follows. However, design criteria a) to e) may be disregarded when the minimum pressures to be realized in the vacuum chamber are larger than 100 Pa and only static pressures (see 7.1) are established. Independent of pressure, criteria b) to d) may be disregarded when only st
44、atic pressures are established.a) The calibration chamber shall have a volume of at least 20 times the total volume of all the gauges and associated pipe work connecting the chamber and the gauges (e.g. elbows shall be considered as part of the gauge volume).b) The shape of the calibration chamber (
45、see Figure 1) shall be cylinder-symmetrical to at least one axis. A sphere is ideal, but two symmetrical domes, each a part of a sphere and attached to one another, or cylinders, are equally possible. Where a cylinder is used, its overall length shall be within one and two times its diameter, and do
46、med ends are recommended.c) The centre of the cross-sectional area of the pumping outlet and the gas inlet (if applicable) shall lie on the same cylindrical axis of symmetry of the calibration chamber. The gas inlet may be positioned between the pump outlet and pump system (see 6.3), in which case t
47、here is no need to have the gas inlet on the axis of symmetry.d) All entrance mouths and their respective flanges to which either the UUCs or the reference gauges are to be connected shall be on a common equatorial plane, perpendicular to the cylindrical axis of symmetry chosen for the pumping outle
48、t.Where a cylinder is used, it is recommended that this equatorial plane separate the cylinder into two halves of equal length. Where a cylinder with a length of (3/2)D in relation to its diameter is used (suitable ISO 3567:2011(E)4 ISO 2011 All rights reservedBS ISO 3567:2011for pump speed measurem

Points closer than 5 cm from the entrance mouth to a heated vacuum gauge head (e.g. ionization gauge) may be disregarded.f) The spatial see e) mean temperature of the calibration chamber shall be (23 3) C during calibration, while the mean temperature should not change by more than 1 K.If the design criteria a) to e)
