The invention discloses a structure of low pressure gauge for the
security measurement of dangerous gas, which is composed of a
radiation source, a collector, an acceleration grid, a shell, an end cap, a stainless sheet, an insulating base, a
flange base, a
metal indium wire seal ring, a connecting bolt, a connecting screw, a
ceramic lead wire and an
electrode component. The structure utilizes the beta particles generated by the
radiation source to ionize the gas molecules in a detected environment; the
direct current voltage provided by the acceleration grid forms an
electric field between the collector and the acceleration grid; the positive ions generated by
ionization are finally collected on the collector via the
electric field force to form a
weak current signal of microampere level; when the detected environment pressure changes, the generated current
signal changes too, and changes of the detected environment pressure and the current
signal have linear proportional in
low vacuum range, therefore, the current signal generated by the collector can be measured to measure
low vacuum pressure. The low pressure gauge has simple structure, high measurement accuracy, small volume, explosion resistance and the application for the measurement in low temperature environment.
