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.

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...
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...

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...
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.
Tighten the set screws. Insert the short filament support brackets into their collars, pushing them in as far as they will go before tightening the set screws. This ensures proper tension on the filament. Agilent UHV-24/UHV-24p Ionization Gauge User Manual...
Insert the short filament support brackets into their collars, pushing them in as far as they will go before tightening the set screws. This ensures proper tension on the filament. Carefully trim the remainder of the stabilizing bar from each filament post. Agilent UHV-24/UHV-24p Ionization Gauge User Manual...
