Measurement range
Which measurement method offers an appropriate measurement range? Is one single method sufficient or is it necessary to
combine different methods? Are combination gauges applicable?
Bakeout capability
What temperature stability is required for the gauge and the gauge cable? Need temperature sensitive parts to be removable?
10
Readings display
Is a pressure display required? If yes, is an active gauge with integrated display appropriate or a separate display unit for one or more
gauges?
Signal transmission
Which type of signal needs to be transmitted over which cable lengths and in which quality?

Glossary
Absolute pressure
indicates the pressure relative to absolute vacuum. I.e. absolute vacuum = 0 mbar absolute, atmospheric pressure = 1013 mbar
absolute (under normal conditions). The absolute pressure of a gas is defined as the force of the gas particles per surface unit.
Differential pressure
indicates the difference in pressure between two measuring points.
Vacuum
Means that the absolute pressure of a gas within a system is smaller than the ambient air pressure. Some technical vacuum
applications require a low pressure of just a few mbar, other applications reach pressures below 10-9 mbar absolute. This is a
thousandth of a billionth of the normal atmospheric pressure and points out the complexity of vacuum measurement.
Controller
a) Device containing measurement and control electronics for a passive gauge, which interprets and processes the transducer signal.
The electronics supply the transducer with power, controls the measuring circuit, and determines the readings. Usually a readings
display is contained. In many cases, data interfaces (analog and/or digital), digital control inputs and outputs, as well as setpoint relays
for process control are integrated or optionally available.
b) Device which supplies active gauges with power and displays their output signal in pressure units (mbar, Pa, Torr, etc.). In many
cases, data interfaces (analog and/or digital), digital control inputs and outputs, as well as setpoint relays for process control are
integrated or optionally available.
Exponential notation
1.0E-3 mbar = 1.0 x 10-3 mbar.

Measuring methods
Bourdon gauge
Simple mechanical vacuum gauge. A thin metal spiral tube is closed at one end and
connected to the vacuum system at the other end. Outside the tube is either normal
atmospheric pressure or a defined absolute pressure, dependent on the model. The
10
inside of the tube is evacuated together with the vacuum system. Depending on the
pressure difference between inside and outside, the tube bends to a certain extent in the
way of a spiral spring. By means of a lever system, the bend is transferred to a
calibrated indicator needle and scale which displays the pressure of the vacuum system.
