The Basics of Pressure Measurement and Capacitance Manometers

Download Whitepaper
This note contains an overview of the different measurement systems and metrics in common use for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. The different types of instrumentation appropriate for pressure/vacuum measurement have been described and compared with each other. Capacitance manometers have been examined in detail and found to be the most accurate and repeatable measurement devices currently available. Capacitance manometers’ characteristics and use as reference standards are described in some detail. This note presents MKS Instruments’ Baratron solution for capacitance manometer applications, detailing the particular features that make the Baratron manometer a superior solution.
