This topic appeared on the MSA list server In December 2002 and January 2003. While cleaning my gauge tube recently, I documented the steps. In this article I describe cleaning a Varian 524-2 gauge tube. There are a number of other cold cathode and penning style gauge tubes on the market, Edwards CP-25 (old penning), CVC GPH-001A(old cold cathode), Pfeiffer IRK 250 (new cold cathode) to name a few. The cleaning steps are very similar. Consult the instructions that came with the gauge tube or visit the vendor's websites.
