Jan 03, 2012
MKS has been the dominant capacitance manometer in the vacuum to low pressure measurement arena for some time, leaving the question… Isn't there a worthy alternative option? The answer is absolutely. It comes in the form of the Brooks Instrument XacTorr™.

Brooks digital capacitance manometers provide terrific benefits for vacuum to low pressure applications:
- XacTorr can be re-zeroed from the control room
- Full scale ranges from 1000 Torr to 100 mTorr
- Extremely stable and repeatable measurement for pressure sensitive processes
- Up to 3X longer life in aggressive processes
- Drop-in replacement for competitive vacuum gauges
- Unique diagnostic features for preventative maintenance
- Monitor and troubleshoot without interfering with the tool communication system
- Track remaining zero adjustment range to allow scheduled maintenance, reducing unplanned interruptions
For more information about the XacTorr, or to inquire about a trial, please contact your local Fine Line Instrument representative.
