Abstract
Pressures below 10−6 Torr are measured almost exclusively with ionization gages. These gages have the advantages of high sensitivity, potentiality for measuring pressures as low as 10−18 Torr, and relative simplicity of the gage and its electronic controls. The attendant disadvantages are rather poor absolute accuracy, serious interactions between the gage and the system being measured, and the need for considerable skill and knowledge on the part of the operator to obtain reproducible, accurate results. Other types of gage have been developed which do not require ionization of the gas and which are potentially capable of measuring pressures in the ultrahigh vacuum (u.h.v.) range (< 10−9 Torr) which may not suffer from the disadvantages of ionization gages. None of these gages has been developed to the point where it is a serious competitor to the ionization gage at pressures below 10−6 Torr, nor have the operational problems of these gages been clearly established. This chapter will concentrate its attention on ionization gages with only very brief reference to other types.
