ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for producing a vapor which serves as a chemical processing material by delivering a carrier gas and a reactive liquid to a vaporizer in which the vapor is produced, the operating state of the vaporizer is monitored by measuring the pressure of the carrier gas being delivered to the vaporizer and producing a detectable indication when the measured pressure exceeds a given value.
