Description

The Barocel Model 600 transducer is an advanced design capacitance manometer which uses patented technology to improve zero stability after temperature excursions or pressure overloads. An integral vacuum reference, of all-welded construction, contains gettering material to ensure long-term stability.

In vacuum systems, the Model 600 is the ideal replacement for McLeod, Pirani, or thermocouple gauges. Since pressure is sensed by electrically measuring pressure-induced displacement of a thin metal membrane, calibration accuracy is unaffected by the chemical composition of input media.

Dirty or corrosive gases and radioactive gases such as tritium may be monitored without affecting accuracy because the electrically active portion of the sensor is contained in the sealed reference vacuum.

The transducer's analogue output is directly proportional to pressure and may be recorded by data acquisition systems or displayed using an Edwards readout/power supply.
