Offering a basic understanding of each important topic in vacuum science and technology, this book concentrates on pumping issues, emphasizes the behavior of vacuum pumps and vacuum systems, and explains the relationships between pumps, instrumentation and high-vacuum system performance. The book delineates the technical and theoretical aspects of the subject without getting in too deep. It leads readers through the subtleties of vacuum technology without using a dissertation on mathematics to get them there. An interesting blend of easy-to-understand technician-level information combined with engineering data and formulae, the book provides a non-analytical introduction to high vacuum technology.

High-Vacuum Technology - A Practical guide,
By
This review is from: High-Vacuum Technology (Dekker Mechanical Engineering) (Hardcover)
This is one of the VERY few books that I'd pay $150 for. If you're limited to only one Vacuum book in your life, this is the one to have. An interesting blend of easy-to-understand technician-level information combined with enough engineering data and formulae to keep even the most severe calculator-phile happy. Mr. Hablanian was formerly the Engineering Director for Varian and so is emminently qualified to write such a book. As is fitting for the price, the production values are excellent. Crisp photos and excellent graphics. I have been pleasantly surprised to not find a single mis-spelled word or bad grammar so far. This is the book I recommend to people who have just entered the vacuum field and need a comprehensive crash course in the technology.

High Vacuum Technology,
By A Customer
This review is from: High-Vacuum Technology (Dekker Mechanical Engineering) (Hardcover)
Mr. Hablanian's book on High Vacuum Technology is perhaps one of the finest books on the subject that I have ever read. The book gets into the technical and theoretical aspects of the subject without getting in too deep. This book is a practical guide which allows the reader to understand the subtleties of vacuum without a dissertation on mathematics to get you there. There are equations to learn if so inclined, but the equations are useful in the application and calculus is not needed to apply. If you are looking to understand vacuum from an applications point of view, then this is the book for you. If you really want to delve into the theoretical nature of vacuum from a purely mathematical standpoint then get one of O'Hanlon's books.

An excellent guide for novel scientist,
By Firpo Giuseppe (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High-Vacuum Technology (Dekker Mechanical Engineering) (Hardcover)
About this book the author write: "...It is intended to be an essential nonanalytical introduction to high vacuum technology for engineers and technicians who would like to have a general orientation before proceeding to a more technical and scientifically rigorous text...". But I want to add: there are many parts that stimulate to attention even a scientist, not only engineers and technicians.
