Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0426237A2] A procedure for detecting television picture tubes with insufficient vacuum, during production. <??>In order to detect and separate out tubes having insufficient vacuum before the getters, a DC voltage which rises continuously from a low value up to a maximum value is applied between the anode (g4) and a second electrode (g3) of the tube, the rise of which DC voltage is stopped when a (spark or discharge) current flows in the tube, and the associated value of the DC voltage is evaluated as the criterion for the detection of the tube.
