| Hot-cathode ionization gage | Aerospace | An ionization gage in which the ions are produced by collisions with electrons emitted from a hot filament (or cathode) and accelerated by an electric field. Also called hot-filament ionization gage, ionization gage, or simply ion gage. The Bayard-Alpert ionization gage employs a tube with an electrode structure designed to minimize X-ray induced electron emission from the ion collector. (references) | |
