7.0 NOTES ON CALIBRATION. The DIGIVAC is calibrated in nitrogen, which has thermal properties virtually identical to air. If you are using a Pirani vacuum gauge, other gases will affect the readings by an amount proportional to the thermal conductivity of the gases.

27 inches of mercury. Below that, it is much more useful to talk in terms of absolute pressure, starting from absolute zero. The DIGIVAC and all similar instruments do just this. One TORR, a commonly used unit, is an absolute pressure of one millimeter of mercury. A millitorr is equal to one thousandth of a TORR.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER GAUGE TUBES. On special order, DIGIVAC Instruments can be provided to use with most other vacuum gauge tubes. AC and DC excitation are available. Gauges have been provided for Hastings, Varian, Thermionics, Veeco, VRC, and Fredericks gauge tubes.
