DESCRIIPTIION
The Model 2002, Dual Sensor Vacuum Gauge, is a wide
range vacuum instrument consisting of a digital microprocessor-
based display unit, two sensing elements (micro-
Pirani and piezoresistive bridge) in a single tube shell, and
an interconnecting cable. Together, these components provide
accurate vacuum measurement over 7 decades of
pressure from 1x10-4 Torr to 1000 Torr. This instrument is a
new design approach based on over 60 years of experience
by Teledyne Hastings Instruments (THI) with well-known
pressure measurement techniques. A single tube contains
both a THI patented thin film Pirani sensor and a piezoresistive
sensor in a small, rugged and inexpensive package.
The piezoresistive bridge is a direct force sensor which
gives very accurate readings at high pressures from atmosphere
down to less than 1 Torr without the concerns of gas
composition. The thin film Pirani measures pressures from a
few Torr down to 1x10-4 Torr. An algorithm residing in the
microprocessor ensures a seamless transition between
sensors. Additionally, the two sensor outputs are used in a
cross calibration mode to give even higher accuracy.
New Sensor Design
The Model 2002 sensors are mounted in a rugged corrosive
resistant 316 stainless steel tube. The small packaging
reduces the sensor’s internal volume, significantly improving
response time. The tube can be mounted in any orientation
with no effect on calibration and is far more rugged than
standard fragile convection driven Pirani tubes. The two
sensors reside on a single gold plated Kovar header.
