The 925 Transducer offers a wide measurement range from 1x10^-5 Torr to atmosphere that is based on measurement of thermal conductivity. The MicroPirani sensor consists of a silicon chip with a heated resistive element forming one surface of a cavity. A cover on top of the chip forms the other surface of the cavity. Due to the geometry of the sensor, convection cannot take place within the cavity and consequently, the sensor is insensitive to the mounting position. Gas molecules are passed by diffusion only to the heated element where the heat loss of the gas is measured.

Like all thermal conductivity sensors, the 925 is sensitive to gas type. To compensate for gas dependency, the MicroPirani has a number of common gas calibrations that can be selected via the digital interface. This makes it a simple solution for locating medium to fine leaks in vacuum systems. Calibration gases include: Air, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, H2O vapor, CO2, Xenon, and Neon.

The 925 also has a analog pressure output of 1VDC/decade that can be interfaced to external analog equipment for pressure readout or controlling. Other analog outputs and curves can be selected via the digital user interface.

The 925 has up to three mechanical relays which can be used for process control, examples are interlocking valves or pumps.
