PGE050
ATM to Medium Vacuum Gauge
The INFICON Pirani Gauge Enhanced 050 (PGE050) is the passive version of our active convection enhanced Pirani gauges PGE300 and PGE500. Equipped with the same sensor technology, the PEG050 works in conjunction with our VGC031 passive gauge controller unit to produce the same higher accuracy readings in the measurement range between 100 to 1000 mbar. With its wider measuring range and higher accuracy, especially at lower pressures, the PGE050 is the first choice when replacing thermocouple gauges in your vacuum system. The rugged gauge and sensor design makes the PGE050 a high value/low cost of ownership choice and qualifies this gauge for many applications where an economical vacuum measurement from low to high vacuum range is required.
