A degasifier is provided in which the deterioration in sealing property
(deterioration in airtightness) is prevented while sealing members to be
placed between a container and covers that compose a decompression
chamber can be omitted. A degasifier includes a decompression chamber
provided with a container and covers, and a gas-permeable tube. The
container is a tubular body extending along the central axis. The covers
seal the openings of the ends of the tubular body. The gas-permeable tube
is contained in the decompression chamber in such a manner that a liquid
to be degassed that has entered from the outside of the decompression
chamber flows therethrough and the liquid to be degassed that has flowed
therethrough flows out of the decompression chamber. The inner
circumference surfaces in the vicinities of the openings of the container
each are provided with a first slope that is formed to be tilted at a
predetermined angle .theta. with respect to the central axis and to
extend away from the central axis toward the opening side of the
container. A portion of each of the covers that is in contact with the
container is provided with a second slope that is formed to be tilted at
the angle .theta. with respect to the central axis and to extend to
approach the central axis toward the inner side of the decompression
chamber, with the openings being sealed. The openings are sealed with the
container and the covers being joined to each other in the state where
the first slopes and the second slopes are in contact with each other,
respectively.
