Understanding Pumps - Vacuum Gauges
Vacuum gauges are essential instruments used to measure and monitor the pressure within a vacuum system. They provide critical information about the vacuum level, helping users ensure that processes such as filtration, drying, and chemical reactions are performed under optimal conditions. There are various types of vacuum gauges, including analog and digital models, as well as specific technologies like thermocouple, ionisation, and capacitance manometers. Each type offers different measurement ranges and accuracies, making them suitable for various applications. Vacuum gauges are often equipped with features such as alarm systems and data logging capabilities to enhance usability and monitoring. By providing real-time feedback on vacuum levels, these gauges play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of laboratory and industrial processes, ensuring reliable results and preventing equipment damage.
