PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flow rate standard for accurately calibrating a flowmeter whose flow rate range is small in a short time.SOLUTION: A flow rate standard includes: a first channel pipe whose one end side is connected to a pressure source, and to whose other end a flow rate controller is connected; a second channel pipe whose one end side is connected to the pressure source, and whose other end is connected to the first channel pipe, and which is equipped with a connection port to which a test object flowmeter is serially connected in the channel; interruption means for interrupting the supply of gas from the pressure source to the first channel pipe and the supply of gas from the pressure source to the second channel pipe, and for separating the first channel pipe and the second channel pipe at the upstream side of the connection port. By using the flow rate standard, compressed gas is packed from the pressure source into the flow rate standard, and then when the pressure source and the flow rate standard are interrupted, the flow of gas whose flow rate is fine can be accurately generated from the upstream side to the downstream side of the test object flowmeter. This fine flow rate can be calculated from the flow rate generated by the flow rate controller and the volume ratio of the upstream side and the downstream side of the flowmeter.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for transferring and conveying a substrate, in which the volume of a substrate lot assembling support frame is held to a minimum, a disposing space is reduced, conveyability is improve and devices or the like can be simplified. SOLUTION: The apparatus for transferring and conveying the substrate includes a substrate lot compositing unit for superposing the substrates at a predetermined interval on a single support frame for juxtaposing and supporting the substrates of the substrate lots, to transfer and convey horizontal substrate lots in a containing cassette to the next step treating unit by taking out the substrate lots by a multi-joint manipulator 2 and integrally compositing the substrates. The manipulator 2 takes out the substrate lot in the horizontal state, rotates the lot to a position in which the lot becomes vertical, and transfers the lot to the support frame of the compositing unit.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for compositing a substrate lot, in which the substrate lot having a large-diameter substrate can be conveyed easily in a vertical state, cleaning or the like can be performed, and a disposing space can be reduced by holding the volume of a substrate lot assembling support to a minimum by a simple process. SOLUTION: The apparatus, for compositing the substrate lot to form at least one synthetic substrate lot by compositing a plurality of the substrate lots, by superposing a plurality of substrates with each other, includes a support frame having a plurality of support plates stood for supporting the ends of the respective substrates. The substrates of other substrate lots supported to the support plates are superposed at a predetermined interval between the substrates of the substrate lots, placed in a compositing space between the respective support plates, and the plurality of the substrate lots are composited so as to form a single composite substrate lot.
