Abstract

The theory relevant to the flow of gases through tubes and orifices has been reviewed and presented in a form suitable for practical applications.

The viscous flow of gases through tubes and orifices has been measured for He, N2, and Ar. The results compare favourably with the theory and the results of other experiments.

A four-stage windowless gas target has been designed and its performance evaluated. Overall pressure ratios of the order of 107 for He and 3×108 for N2 and Ar have been obtained.
