Understanding Vacuum Measurement Ranges: From Rough to High Vacuum

Introduction Vacuum measurement ranges are the foundation of reliable process control in semiconductor manufacturing, physical vapor deposition (PVD), vacuum furnaces, and countless other industrial systems. Understanding where “rough,” “medium,” and “high” vacuum begin and end—and which gauge technology excels in each regime—helps engineers specify the right sensor the first time, avoid costly crossover errors, and […]

Pirani vs Cold Cathode Vacuum Gauge: How to Choose the Right One

Introduction Vacuum gauges are the eyes of any vacuum system. Selecting the wrong sensor can lead to inaccurate process control, extended pump-down times, or premature equipment failure. Two of the most widely used technologies—Pirani thermal conductivity gauges and cold cathode ionization gauges—cover the majority of industrial high-vacuum applications from 10−3 Torr down to 10−7 Torr.
