The piani gauge chamber and the compensating cal is housed on a wheat stone bridge circuit as shown in diagram, Operation of Pirani gauge 1.A constant current is passed through the flament inthe prani gauge chamber. Due to tis current, the flament gets heated and assumes a resistance which Is measured using the bridge 2. Now the pressure to be measured (applied pressure) is connected to the iran ‘gauge chamber. Dus to the applied pressure the density ofthe surrounding of the Pirani gouge flament changes. Due to this change in densty ofthe surounding ofthe famont its conductvty changes causing the tomperatue of the flament to change. ‘when the temperature ofthe flament changes, the resistance of the filament also changes, 4. Now the change in resistance of the filament is determines sing the bridge “This change in resistance of the piran gauge applied pressure when calbrated st bacomes @ mensure ofthe Note: [higher pressure ~ higher density ~ higher conductivity ~ reduced filament temperature — less resistance of flament] and vice versa Applications of Pirani gauge Used to messure ow vacuum and ula high vacuum pressures.

Hot Wire Anemometer (Thermal Method) Basic Principle of Hot wire Anemometer When an electrically heated wie is placed in a flowing gas stream, heats ransfered from the wire tothe gas and hence the temperature ofthe wire reduces, and cu to his, the resistance of the wie also changes. This change in resistance of the wire becomes ‘a measure of low rat.
