Abstract
The thermomolecular pressure difference is one of the several phenomena which are significant when pressure measurements are made under purely gaseous conditions, particularly when large differences in temperature exist between the place in which pressure measurements have to be carried out and a reference place, where temperature is generally room temperature and where precise pressure measurements can be made by primary or transfer standards. Such phenomena need careful consideration and corrections have to be applied.
