Abstract: | In sorption measurements, volumetric or gravimetric procedures are commonly used to determine the amount adsorbed. At low
pressures, thermomolecular flow and pressure differences according to Knudsen's law disturb measurements. In volumetry, calibration
of the dead space is required; in gravimetry, the influence of buoyancy has to be taken into account. In both cases, adsorption
of the calibrating gas, usually helium, may disturb the measurements 1]. From the calibration measurements, the density of
the sample can in principle be calculated. However, it has been observed in many experiments that its value depends on the
calibrating gas.
