VACUUBRAND Announces New Pirani Sensor VSP 3000 for Chemistry

The new Pirani sensor VSP 3000 from VACUUBRAND offers the world first fine vacuum sensor with outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical robustness. Primarily designed for applications in chemistry laboratories and process engineering, it benefits from a ceramic-encapsulated measuring element, an embedded reference element for temperature stability and wetted parts made of high-grade chemically resistant plastics.

This technological breakthrough means that the VSP 3000 is a high shock proof sensor that will even survive in the event of sudden gas bumping – a typical cause of failure for standard sensor filaments. This new patent pending sensor design is unique in fine vacuum measurement and sets a new benchmark standard for chemical fine vacuum measurement.

The new Pirani sensor VSP 3000 from VACUUBRAND can be used in conjunction with both the DCP 3000 vacuum gauge and the CVC 3000 vacuum controller respectively and offers therefore not only a versatile fully chemical resistance in the measuring range from atmosphere down to 10-3 mbar, but also the innovative possibility of accurate 2-point vacuum control within this extended range.

In addition, up to eight external gauge heads can be connected simultaneously to the DCP 3000 vacuum gauge for easy and cost effective multi-point measurement. With small flange connection KF DN 16 at the gauge head and a screw-in hose nozzle for DN 6 to DN 10, the sensor offers flexible connection options for existing vacuum apparatus. Finally, the VACUU•BUS™-system also allows cable extensions up to 30 m, enabling remote application usage.
