The constant temperature type Pirani gauge supplies the energy lost by collision of gas molecules from the heated filament and maintains the filament temperature constant all the time. ULVAC Pirani gauge is this type of gauge. This type of gauge is less susceptible to change of α and more advantageous over other types of Pirani vacuum gauges in terms of small change in α, stability and responsibility.
7.2. Types of Gas Measured and Indication As briefly explained in "7.1 Principles of Operation", the indication of the Pirani vacuum gauge changes with the type of gas measured. In the molecular flow region, A (free molecule thermal conductivity) is given by the following equation.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom: No display appears on the front panel when power is turned ON. Possible cause Corrective action • The power cord is disconnected. 1) Check the power cord for connection. • The line voltage is below the specified 1) Check the line voltage by a circuit tester.
