Summary

A small bubble chamber has been constructed, for testing corrosive, high density liquids. Its successful operation with tungsten hexafluoride (W F6) is described, together with some of the techniques necessary for handling this liquid and measurements of its physical properties. Some work on stannic chloride (SnCl4) and stannic bromide (SnBr4) is also summarized.

Riassunto

Una piccola camera a bolle è stata costruita per fare una prova dell’uso di corrosivi liquidi di grande densità. Si descrivono il funzionamento di questa camera a bolle con esafluoruro di tungsteno (WF6). Vengono anche esposti alcuni procedimenti necessari per il lavoro con questo liquido, e qualche misura sulle sue proprietà fisicne. Inoltre si riassume qualche lavoro con cloruro di stagno (SnCl4) e con bromuro di stagno (SnBr4).
