On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
The hot-filament ionization gauge, sometimes called a hot-filament gauge or hot-cathode gauge, is the most widely used low-pressure (vacuum) measuring device for the region from 10−3 to 10−10 Torr. It is a triode, with the filament being the cathode.
Note: Principles are mostly the same for hot-cathode ion sources in particle accelerators to create electrons.
