Abstract
A direct reading ionic discharge flowmeter capable of measuring rates of flow of gases from 0.30 mu g s(-1) to 0.20 mg s(-1) is described. T he meter uses a differential current and voltage measurement arrangeme nt. The meter functions best at a pressure of 4 x 10(2) Pa and has app lication for use with dry non-explosive gases. A semi-empirical model is devised to explain the theory of the instrument.
