WRG-SL - NW25 - St St - factory calibration, Wide Range Gauge, D1471100C

Gauge Indirect Pressure Measurement

Indirect braod range vacuum gauges are the best choice when the pressure needs to be measured over a wide range and when good accuracy is needed across the whole range. Reliable vacuum gauges are essential to ensure your system’s accuracy and control. Our vacuum gauging solutions include the WRG Series Cold Cathode Combination Gauge, AIM Series Cold Cathode Gauge, and APG Series Pirani Gauge.

WRG Series

The Wide Range Gauge (WRG) family offers the capability of single port pressure measurement in the range atmosphere to 10-9 mbar, with a linear output.

It’s a compact solution, halving the space and connectivity hardware requirement, which can be all important in many applications. The WRG has many novel features, including a patented striker, push-button calibration and set point controls and comprehensive diagnostics. The WRG is a cost-effective vacuum management solution when used either with an Edwards controller or directly integrated into the vacuum system controls.

This gauge is particularly suited to monitoring the pressure on systems that are rapidly pumped down from atmosphere pressure to high vacuum levels.

For applications that require extended pressure monitoring in the 10-2 to 10-4 mbar range Edwards recommends using a separate Active Pirani (APG200).
