The INFICON Pirani Gauge Enhanced 500 (PGE500) is equipped with the latest digital convection enhanced Pirani technology available on the market.
Due to the physical properties of convection this type of Pirani offers higher accuracy in the measurement range between 100 to 1000 mbar.
The rugged gauge and sensor design in combination with many factory built in features, such as the bright, sharp and clear OLED display with integrated keypad, RS485/RS232digital interface and 4 selectable analog output signals makes the PGE500 a high value/low cost of ownership choice. All these features qualify this gauge for many applications where an economical vacuum measurement from low to high vacuum range is required.
