title: Volumetric calibration of experimental apparatus by xenon gas transfer.
abstract: The volumes of interconnected sections of large, irregular, or inaccessible apparatus can be measured by quantitative cryogenic transfer of a xenon gas fill to weighing bottles. Tests with eight containers from 75 to 10 000 cm(3) using relatively simple equipment, showed that: (1) absolute volumes of 250 cm(3) or larger can be measured with a reproducibility on the order of 0.02% and with an accuracy on the order of 0.05% and (2) the ratios among two or more volumes can be determined with a reproducibility of 0.01%-0.001%, depending on volume.
