Trigon™ BCG552 Hot Ionization Gauges

ATM to Ultra High Vacuum TripleGauge®

The TripleGauge® BCG552 combines 3 vacuum sensing elements in one sensor flange. This flagship of the new TrigonTM family offers a extremely wide measurement range from UHV (5 x10-10) up to ATM (1500 mbar). With its added ATM sensor, BCG552 is well-suited for differential pressure measurement and for use as vacuum switch in several applications.

The supported Bayard-Alpert dual filament offers superior accuracy, repeatability and longevity in the UHV and HV range, while the miniaturized capacitance diaphragm gauge has superior accuracy in the ATM range and is gas type independent.
