Ion gauges are highly accurate
BOC Edwards has added a new series of active ion gauges to its range of instrumentation for vacuum measurement and control. AIGX gauges offer high accuracy measurement from 5x10–2 to 5x10–10 torr.
The gauges combine a wide measurement range with very low emissions of charged particles. In comparative tests, AIGX showed up to a 30-fold reduction in emissions compared to leading competitive products, making it applicable to processes where background noise is undesirable.
