started list of vacuum gauge types
Vacuum Gauges are measurement devices used to determine the pressure present in a vacuum system, there are many designs currently available as well as those that have fallen out of use. The 4 basic electric gauges are, the [[Pirani Gauge]], [[Penning Gauge]], [[Bayard Alpert Gauge]] and the [[Baratron]] (Capacitive Gauge). Each gauge type has a range in which it is capable of measuring pressure, while not simultaneously destroying the gauge. Most gauges available today, are not absolute gauges, but are relative to a absolute gauge to which they where calibrated.
For a list of Vacuum Gauges from various manufacturers, see: [[List of Vacuum Gauge Heads]]
