The gap in the lifetime can be reduced both by measures of improvements in technology and implementation of thyratron parameters monitoring systems. It is known that the thyratron lifetime mainly depends on continuity of gas pressure and cathode emission. In this paper the initial research on some effective means of gas pressure monitoring automation is described. The pressure monitoring in thyratrons TGI-, TPI- and TDI-types is possible in absence of anode voltage either by registration of triggering parameters in a new igniter design or by a special built-in high-temperature pressure gauge.
