New PBTS1C Portable Baratron® Transfer Standard
New PBTS1C Portable Baratron® Transfer Standard
PBTS1C is a portable single-channel high accuracy pressure standard with a pressure measurement range of 10-5 to 25000 Torr for real-time in situ pressure verification applications.
The PBTS1C is suitable for use in the calibration lab, production floor, or cleanroom environment. The system includes an AA06A Baratron® Capacitance Manometer pressure sensor which acts as the pressure standard and a 670C power supply and display with a signal conditioner all housed in a rugged wheeled cart with an extendable handle for easy maneuvering. The cart itself includes a secure drawer to store the pressure standard and associated 13 foot interconnecting cable.
The manometer is temperature-controlled at 45°C to maintain stability and high accuracy. The front face of the cart is angled upward to allow for easy viewing of the digital LCD readout.

Features
Key Features:
- Accurately measures diverse pressures from low to high vacuum
- Ensures long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance
- Ensures confident, accurate pressure readings traceable to national standards
- Facilitates simplified operation with clear display
- Enables seamless integration for efficient data collection and analysis
- Allows for convenient power backup, transport, and setup in various locations
A typical process pressure set point verification set up.
The cart’s pressure standard is removed from its storage drawer and placed near the process tool’s manometer port. This is facilitated by using a combination isolation valve such as MKS’ IDA™ In Situ Diagnostic Access Isolation Valve. When the pressure standard is connected to the isolation valve’s access port, it can be used to verify the accuracy of the gauge and check the system’s set point pressure.
