Searching for Outgassing Rate of Fused Silica (SiO2)

[esorolla]

Hello everybody

I'm looking for the outgassing rate of some very common material: fused Silica. The problem is that I cannot find any database where to get the value of it. I found a table where the values of the outgassing rates for some specific glass were shown, but nothing about the simple Silica (SiO2). I saw the outgassing rates of other materials but not for the SiO2.

Does any of you know where could it be found, please? Some handbook of vacuum technology or something like this?

Thanks in advance. Regards

Ask librarian.

And I am not joking, I am observing Chemical Information Sources Discussion List, quite often they know sources for such things, or know where to look for them.

Hi everybody

I made what I've been told and I received an answer from a librarian. Thank you Borek for your help. I attach the links that I received of a very kind librarian from my university just in case somebody else was looking for the same data:

http://outgassing.nasa.gov/

http://www.ee.uAlberta.ca/~schmaus/vacf/outgas.html

I'd say that in the NASA webpage some concepts are not well-explained but the data are there. In my opinion, TML and some other concepts are not well-explained, but you have something to start.

Have a nice day!

I understand your search for the outgassing rate of fused silica. This information is important for various applications, such as in vacuum technology. After conducting some research, I have found that the outgassing rate for fused silica can vary depending on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and surface treatment. Therefore, it may be difficult to find a specific value for the outgassing rate of fused silica in a database.

However, there are some resources that can provide estimates or guidelines for this information. One option is to consult a handbook or textbook on vacuum technology, as you mentioned. These resources often provide general outgassing rate ranges for different materials, including fused silica. Additionally, some research papers or technical reports may also provide data on the outgassing rate of fused silica in specific conditions.

Another approach could be to conduct your own experiment to measure the outgassing rate of fused silica in your specific setup. This will provide you with a more accurate value for your specific conditions.

I hope this information helps in your search for the outgassing rate of fused silica. Good luck with your research.
