RGA11 - RGA Calibration in Industry and Research

RGA's are associated with leak detection and residual gas analysis. However, the same quadrupole mass spectrometer is extensively used as an instrument to provide quantitative analysis in processes and to control processes like physical and chemical vapour deposition, etch processes, etc.  BUT, they are difficult to calibrate, and at present there is no traceability to any national primary standard - the meeting shall be a step towards a reasonable calibration scheme of quadrupole mass spectrometers.
