Summary
The optical properties of Fluothane vapour have been determined. There was a strong absorption of ultraviolet and infrared radiation. While the absorption in either range can be used to measure the concentration of Fluothane, quantitative data have been given only for the use of ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The construction of a suitable absorption cell, and a container in which Fluothane vapour can be transported, have been described.
Résumé
On a fixé les propriétés optiques de la vapeur de Fluothane. On a noté une forte absorption de radiation ultraviolette et infrarouge. Bien que ľabsorption dans les deux zones puisse servir à mesurer la concentration de fluothane, les données quantitatives ont été obtenues seulement avec ľemploi de la spectrophotornétrie à ľultraviolet. On décrit la construction ďune cellule ďabsorption appropriée et un contenant dans lequel la vapeur de Fluothane peut être introduite.
