At the core of the Bayard-Alpert Ionization Gauge there are filaments and grids manufactured at Union City Filament. Bayard-Alpert Ionization Gauges are hot cathode devices that analyze atmospheric conditions in vacuum systems and vacuum chambers. Leg formations, coil diameters, wire diameters, numbers of turns, and turn spacing can all be modified to meet application requirements. Tungsten is the material of choice in ionization gauge systems.
