Capacitance sensor, Booths 7172-7173. The Model 760 Vactron series capacitance manometer features long-term zero stability and linearity with a choice of standard accuracy of ±0.25% or optional ±0.15% of reading. The signal output is linear with pressure and independent of gas composition. The sensor has good EMI/RFI performance, and Inconel wetted parts make the sensor resistant to corrosive media.
