Abstract
Some new experiments are described in which water was degassed before introducing it into a steel Berthelot tube which had been evacuated. For water which had not been degassed the maximum breaking tension was 46 atm as reported by Jones et al. With the process of degassing, potential cavitation nuclei in the liquid were removed and much larger breaking tensions of up to 68 atm have been obtained.Keywords
