Intended Use
The Compact Pirani Gauge TPR 265 has been designed for
vacuum measurement of gases in the pressure range of
-4
5×10
... 1000 mbar.
The gauge can be operated in connection with a Pfeiffer
Vacuum controller for Compact Gauges or with another
evaluation unit.
Functional Principle
Over the whole measurement range, the measurement signal
is output as a logarithm of the pressure.
