Life Tests of Tungsten and Tantalum Filaments in Ion Gauges (open access)

Life Tests of Tungsten and Tantalum Filaments in Ion Gauges

Results of an investigation carried on for the following purposes: (1) To determine the relative life of filaments when operated at low emission (low temperatures) as compared to those operated at high emission values. (2) To determine the nature of the dependence of life upon the initial diameter of the filament. (3) To determine the effect of varying concentrations of water vapor and air upon the life of the filaments. (4) To determine the relative life characteristics of tantalum as compared to tungsten.
