To select the appropriate gauge, follow the steps below using the Model Numbers / Selection & Cross-Reference Table (next page).

  1. Select the type of gauge: glass tubulated, nude or nude-UHV
  2. Select filament type: ThO2/Ir or tungsten, single or dual
  3. Note the SRS part number

Once you have selected a gauge, choose the appropriate cable using the pin connector diagram.

SRS offers three types of gauges for the IGC100 Ion Gauge Controller: glass-tubulated, nude, and nude-UHV Bayard-Alpert ionization gauges. We also supply convection-enhanced Pirani gauges.

Single and Dual Filaments

All single, hair-pin shaped filaments used in SRS gauges are spring tensioned to eliminate filament sag. This allows the user to mount the gauge in any orientation. Dual-filament assemblies provide security against filament burnout.

Notes:
1. Glass-to-metal transition
2. Vertical orientation provides strain relief for electrode structures increasing long-term stability
3. Direct current (DC) bias and supply voltages are recommended for all electrical connections.
4. Single filaments are hair-pin shaped and spring loaded to eliminate sagging.
