Vacuum pressure gauges will typically arrive from a manufacturer calibrated for nitrogen; for other gases, to avoid potentially significant measurement errors, a correction factor must be used to convert 'measured' or 'indicated' pressure to 'true' pressure. The correction factors used are influenced by a large number of factors and these vary with gauge type. In this article the factors leading to varying gauge sensitivity with different gases are examined and values for correction factors provided by manufacturers and in literature are presented.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
