) or air without referring to correction factor data tables. InstruTech gauges are calibrated for direct readout of nitrogen or air. Do not attempt to use with other gases such as argon (Ar) or carbon dioxide (CO ) unless accurate conversion data for N to other gas is properly used.
PTFE (Teflon®) tape and hand tighten the gauge into the gauge port. Do not use a wrench or other tool which may damage the gauge. InstruTech, Inc. Page 6...
(N ) and the gas in use. The gas correction data, charts and tables listed in your controller (such as the InstruTech VGC301 controller) User Manual indicates how different gases affect the display and output from an InstruTech convection gauge.

The X-axis is the pressure reading indicated by the convection gauge under test. This chart shows readings for an InstruTech convection gauge (CVG) and Granville-Phillips® Convectron® gauge to illustrate that the difference in the response for both of these types of gauges is virtually indistinguishable.
Torr. Care should be exercised when using gases other than nitrogen (N ) / air. 5.2 Maintenance In general, maintenance is not required for your InstruTech gauge. Periodic performance checks may be done by comparing the gauge to a known reference standard. 5.3 Troubleshooting...
Thermal vacuum gauges may be available with different sensor materials that are not as reactive with your particular process gases. The standard gold plated tungsten sensor used in the InstruTech convection gauge is offered for use with air and inert gases such as N , argon, etc.
In the event of gauge contamination please contact the factory to return the gauge for possible cleaning if the gauge has not been exposed to hazardous materials. 5.5 Gauge Replacement If the CVG101 gauge fails for any reason, and cleaning does not resolve the issue, the CVG101 gauge should be replaced.
