Teledyne Hastings DV-4D-KF25 Thermocouple Vacuum Gauge Tube with KF-25 Vacuum Fittings for 0.01 to 20 Torr Range (Stock Number 55-258)
Teledyne Hastings DV-4D-KF25 thermocouple vacuum gauge tubes have an extra strong housing and can measure pressure between 0.01 and 20 Torr (10 to 20,000 mTorr). Teledyne Hastings DV-4D-KF25 vacuum sensors are calibrated for nitrogen or air, but conversion factors for other gases are available. The Teledyne Hasting DV-4D-KF25 tubes are matched and interchangeable without calibration adjustments. The DV-4D-KF25 thermocouple tubes are for use with Teledyne Hastings Digital or Analog VT-4 thermocouple gauge controllers. These DV-4D-KF25 tubes have a standard KF25 NW25 vacuum fitting are brand new with full Teledyne Hastings warranty (DV-4D-KF25 Stock Number 55-258).
Thermocouple sensors (thermal conductivity gauges) rely on the fact that the ability of a gas to conduct heat decreases with pressure. In this type of gauge, a wire filament is heated by running current through it. A thermocouple or Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) can then be used to measure the temperature of the filament. This temperature is dependent on the rate at which the filament loses heat to the surrounding gas, and therefore on the thermal conductivity. A common variant is the Pirani gauge which uses a single platinum filament as both the heated element and RTD. These gauges are accurate from 20 Torr to 10−3 Torr, but they are sensitive to the chemical composition of the gases being measured (from Wikipedia.org).
The Teledyne Hastings Instruments DV-4D-KF25 thermocouple gauges have a reputation built upon exceptional stability, accuracy, and reliability under the most demanding conditions. Teledyne Hastings DV-4D-KF25 thermocouple pressure measurement gauges are used in glove boxes, cryogenics, vacuum furnaces, pharmaceutical production, freeze drying, agricultural processes, air conditioning, thermal food containers, plasma coating, refrigeration (HVAC), accelerators, appliance manufacturing and others.
