Close up plasma glow inside cold cathode vacuum gauge

Cold Cathode Gauge Ignition Mechanism Explained

Leave a Comment / Vacuum Technology Basics / By /

In high- and ultrahigh-vacuum systems, reliable pressure measurement below 10-3 Torr often depends on cold cathode ionization gauges. Unlike hot-cathode designs that rely on thermionic emission, cold cathode gauges generate ions through a self-sustaining gas discharge initiated by high voltage. At Poseidon Scientific, our VG-SM225 Cold Cathode Vacuum Transmitter embodies this principle in a compact,
