The Barocel 622 is field proven bakeable capacitance manometer vacuum/pressure transducer. The signal conditioning electronic components are separated from the sensor, allowing it to be operated at 200¡ÆC as required by some applications. Among these applications are processes involving condensable gases, some nuclear processes, and those requiring high temperature sterilization.
The sensor employs the same high performance features found in the Model 600. A temperature sensor within the transducer head provides zero sensitivity compensation to maintain accuracy over a wide temperature range. Removable connectors at the electronics package help simplify installation. An integral vacuum reference of all-welded construction contains gettering material to ensure long term stability and eliminates the need for reference vacuum pumps.
In vacuum systems, the Model 622 is the solution where traditional instruments such as McLeod, Pirani, or thermocouple gauges are unable to operate. Since pressure is sensed by displacement of a thin metal membrane, calibration accuracy is unaffected by the chemical composition of input media.
Dirty, corrosive and radioactive gases such as tritium may be monitored without affecting accuracy because the electrically active portion of the sensor is contained in the sealed vacuum reference which is isolated by the taut metal diaphragm.
The transducer's analogue output is linearly proportional to pressure, and may be recorded by data acquisition systems, read directly on a high-resolution digital voltmeter, or by Edwards power supply/readouts.
