ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for producing a vapor containing a liquid chemical by bubbling a carrier gas through a mass of the liquid chemical, vapor production is monitored by: determining successive values of the pressure of the carrier gas being delivered to the mass of liquid chemical, over a time period; and calculating, on the basis of the successive values of the pressure, the frequency of bubble formation during the bubbling of the carrier gas.
