What are the advantages of using an Extorr over just an ordinary RGA?
Having the total pressure measurement capability, of the built-in Pirani and ion gauge, clearly separates the Extorr from the other RGAs. Not only does the Extorr offer more vacuum measurement capabilities, it also packs these capabilities into the smallest package. The probe is self supporting and does not require a nipple for support. This allows the electronics to extend a mere six inches from the vacuum access port. Even with the extra pressure gauges and size advantage, the Extorr RGA makes no compromise in performance. With high stability, sensitivity, operational flexibility, and modern software, the Extorr systems are truly the next generation RGA.
