The VPM-7 SmartPirani™ ATM transducer is designed for semiconductor load-lock precision pressure control and other vacuum applications where accurate pressure measurement relative to atmospheric ambient pressure is important.
It offers best-in-class performance with wider measurement range, higher accuracy, faster measurement cycle than legacy load-lock transducers and other load-lock sensor solutions.
The SmartPirani ATM based on a patent pending technology that has established new standards by extending the useable measuring range for thermal conductivity Pirani heat-loss vacuum gauges by 1-3 decades.
All-in-one multi-sensor transducer solution
The VPM-7 is a true multi-sensor transducer with four pressure outputs combining a barometric ambient sensor, a wide-range heat-loss Pirani, an absolute diaphragm sensor and a signal relative to atmospheric pressure to optimize pressure control of a modern load-lock vacuum chamber. The diaphragm sensor reading is gas independent from 2 to 1,333 mbar absolute.
