MTCS2601 Thermal Conductivity Sensor Applications
• Primary vacuum control following Pirani principle. This sensor is easily added within a pressure valve or directly in vacuum pipes or systems, such as small mechanical pumping systems, vacuum pumping machine and analytical instruments .
• Leakage miniature SMD sensor as control integrity of closed systems or instruments under dedicated pressure, able to
detect defect like corrosion or simply box opening (load cells; flywheel systems, Dewar…)
