Key Specifications and Benefits:
  • Wide range from 10-4 Torr to ATM 
  • High accuracy, reliability, and longevity 
  • 0 V to 10 V analog output through FCC-68/RJ45 connectors 
  • Output voltages can be customized for plug-and-play replacement 
  • Resistance to contamination due to low working temperatures 
Target Applications:
  • Freeze dryers 
  • Mass spectrometers 
  • Distillation equipment 
  • Cryogenic cylinders and tanks 
  • Vacuum furnaces 
  • Load-lock vacuum systems 
The Context

To ensure precision and uniformity, the PVC6100 series gauges’ sensing element is based on Posifa’s second-generation thermal conductivity chip, which is made with world-class microfabrication processes. For exceptional sensitivity and repeatability, the sensor chip measures thermal conductance in an embedded cavity with integrated thermopile. With a low internal heater temperature just slightly above the ambient, PVC6100 series gauges are much less susceptible to contamination than filament-based Pirani devices, enabling higher reliability and longevity.  

The output voltages can be customized to emulate those from other manufacturers’ devices, enabling plug-and-play replacement for enhanced performance and reduced total cost of ownership without any need to change system software or connection.
