    Abstract: Devices and corresponding methods can be provided to test an ionization gauge, such as a hot cathode ionization gauge, for leakage currents and to respond to the leakage currents to improve pressure measurement accuracy. Responding to the leakage current can include applying a correction to a pressure measurement signal generated by the gauge based on the leakage current. Responding to the leakage current can also include removing contamination causing the leakage current, where the contamination is on electrical feedthrough insulators or other gauge surfaces. Testing and correcting for leakage currents and removing contamination can be completed with the ionization pressure gauge in situ in its environment of use, and while the gauge remains under vacuum.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring, by ionization, the flux of vapour emitted by a substance subjected to vacuum vaporization, whereby a jet is produced within the vapour, and part of the particles contained in the jet are ionized. An essentially uniform magnetic field is produced in a volume crossed by the jet and is directed essentially perpendicularly to the jet, so that a section of the jet is permanently immersed in the magnetic field. The particles contained in a delimited volume situated within this section are ionized through being subjected to the action of at least one pulse of an ionizing radiation, so that the ionized particles constitute a package of ions describing, under the influence of the magnetic field, a circular trajectory. The amplitude of the variable component of the electric influence is measured which the package of ions exercises in the course of its revolutions along the circular trajectory on an electrode situated externally to the trajectory, the amplitude forming the measure of the flux.
