Buy head for Edwards controller or...

Every fusor and fusion system seems to need a vacuum. This area is for detailed discussion of vacuum systems, materials, gauging, etc. related to fusor or fusion research.

Buy head for Edwards controller or...

Post by Sven Andersson »

A research engineer at the Ångström lab in Uppsala gave me some stuff that may or may not be working. I want to measure pressure in the Fusor range or perhaps a little bit higher (1-100 Pa). Should I buy a head for the Edwards controller (left) or a controller for the Granville-Phillips head (right)? Both can be found on eBay.

What kind of head can I use with the Edwards controller? APG-M it says. Can I use APG-MP too?

Either will be fine. I dont think the MP heads are compatible but you could call up edwards and ask for sure. The system I built for work uses the APG-M heads.

The convectron ones work good too, just make sure you put the gage tube in the right position.
