  • Page 16: Description Of The Uhv-24/Uhv-24P Ionization Gauge

    Technical Information Description of the UHV-24/UHV-24p Ionization Gauge The UHV-24 Nude Ionization Gauge, with an x-ray limit of 2x10 Torr, provides reliable pressure measurement from 1 mTorr down to 2x10 Torr, with reduced performance at pressures lower than 2x10 Torr.
  • Page 17 Thus, S = 1 I For UHV-24 gauges, S for air (nitrogen) is 25 (Torr)-1. For the UHV-24p, S for air (Nitrogen) is 20 (Torr) . The normal operating electron current is 4 mA. For the...
  • Page 18: Installation

    Technical Information Installation The UHV-24 and UHV24p Nude Ionization Gauges can be operated with any ion gauge control unit capable of supplying the necessary operating voltages and currents. Degassing of this gauge is by electron bombardment of the grid. To install the gauge: Remove the metal sleeve protecting the collector wire.

    There is a tradeoff between the gauge pumping and the gauge out-gassing that may compensate one for the other. Agilent UHV-24/UHV-24p Ionization Gauge User Manual...
  • Page 22 This often happens when the Ion pumps are running on one phase of the AC power system and the instrumentation is operating off another phase. Experimentation is usually the only answer to find and fix this kind of problem. Agilent UHV-24/UHV-24p Ionization Gauge User Manual...
  • Page 23: Degas

    Technical Information Degas All UHV-24 and UHV24p ionization gauges are operated and degassed at the factory before shipment. Whether to degas the gauge after installation depends upon the application. In large systems that take a long time to pump down, such as several days, or will be baked for an extended period of time, degassing the gauge has a negligible affect.
