<strong>Vacuum</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />

Gas flowing through piping produces a pressure differential �p at the ends of the piping.<br />

The following equation applies:<br />

qpV = L . �p<br />

The conductivity of a line is L = 1/ W.<br />

Analogously to Ohm’s Law I = — 1<br />

R . U q pV represents flow I, L represents the reciprocal of<br />

resistance 1/ R and �p epresents voltage U. If the components are connected in parallel,<br />

the individual conductivities are added:<br />

L 1 + L 2 + ...L n = L ges<br />

and if connected in series, the reciprocals are added:<br />
