= (1 2 )
Pirani Gauge
Working Principle
When the pressure changes, there will be a change in current. For this,
the voltage V has to be kept constant.
The resistance R2 of the gauge is measured, by keeping the gauge
current constant.
The null balance of the bridge circuit is maintained by adjusting the
voltage or current.
An additional reference gauge can also be used in the adjacent arm of
another pirani gauge, in the bridge circuit.
