Cathode Testing in Small Tubes
 

At Blackburn MicroTech Solutions we have facilities for the assembly and processing of cathodes in small tubes. We can test cathodes in tubes (without CRT screen & cone) to measure the emission performance of the cathode and the performance of the cathode heater.

All the typical stages of tube processing are carried out including: cathode welding into beaded unit , sealing-in , pumping , activation, aging and getter fire.

We can then automatically test cathode and heater parameters.

Typical Measurements made include:

  • Cut-off voltage
  • Half-drive emission
  • Cathode warm-up time
  • Saturation current
  • Heater-cathode insulation current
