Differential capacitance manometers can be connected to any pressure or vacuum source for use as the reference pressure. These manometers read the difference in pressure between the inlet tube and the reference cavity at the backside of the electrode. Differential pressure transducers can be used to measure either the true differential pressure or vacuum between two locations, or the reference side of the product can be left open to provide a true reference to local atmospheric pressure. Applications include air and gas flow measurements for filters and analytical systems, downstream pressure control in thin film processing systems, and automated leak testing systems.

These pressure transducers feature all Inconel® construction of the pressure sensor allowing it to operate without damage in virtually any chemical environment, including exposure to halogens, deionized water and steam, and ozone.

These Baratron® capacitance manometers feature a high-level 0-10 VDC analog output signal that is linear with pressure. This analog output can be interfaced with an MKS pressure controller, an MKS power supply/display instrument, or any instrument that meets these requirements.

The pressure sensor and electronics of these capacitance manometers are separated by an eight foot cable, which allows the electronics to be mounted away from sources of heat. Remote electronics allow the sensor to operate at ambient temperatures up to 150°C.  The sensir is also bakeable to 200°C with the cable removed.
