Extract

All methods of vapour density determination hitherto in use, in which quartz or glass manometers are employed, suffer from the disadvantage that the highest temperature attainable is about 750° C.

It is, however, possible to overcome this difficulty whenever the substance under investigation has a considerable vapour pressure below 750° C.
