Another common question we get is how to connect the wires on an ion gauge after replacing the filaments.\u00a0 The tech tip link below titled Ion Gauge Filament Replacement shows the pin outs for an ion gauge on a Physical Electronics<\/a>\u00a0 (PHI) surface analysis system. The attached tech tip is back from 2006 when we were still going by RBD Enterprises, note our new website address and email address at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

Other manufacturers\u2019 ion gauges are all basically the same – a dual filament, a grid and a collector wire.\u00a0 Here is a link to a Stanford Research Systems .PDF that has an excellent overview of ion gauges. \u00a0Ion Gauge Theory<\/a><\/p>\n

If you need an ion gauge filament or replacement ion gauge, RBD provides not only gauges and filaments for PHI systems but also for all of the other more common ones (Granville Phillips, KJL, Varian, Veeco\u2026.) – We make the full range of standard Bayard Alpert (BA) Gauges: tungsten or iridium filaments; with or without an internal platinum coating; glass or metal side tubulations; standard 1″ (25.4mm) or 3\/4″ (19mm) diameter. Special glass diameters are available upon request.<\/p>\n
