    Answer To Q.No. 6a) Pirani Gauge: Construction

    The Pirani gauge consists of two tungsten filaments, one exposed to the environment being measured and the other in a sealed reference tube of constant pressure gas. As gas molecules interact with the heated filament, they carry away heat, lowering the filament's temperature. The filament's electrical resistance depends on its temperature, and therefore the pressure. Resistance is measured using Ohm's law by keeping current constant and measuring voltage, or keeping voltage constant and measuring current. Pirani gauges are inexpensive, rugged, and respond well to pressure changes, but require frequent calibration and a power source.

    Answer to Q.No.

    6a)
    Pirani gauge:

    Construction:

    Fig: Pirani Gauge


    Pirani gauge consist of two tungsten filaments, a power source and a
    volt meter or ammeter. One of the filaments is placed to gauge tube
    and is exposed to the environment where the pressure is measured.
    The other filament is placed in sealed reference tube filled with gas
    constant pressure. The filaments are heated up by passing current
    through them.

    Operation: As the gas molecules interact with the filament,


    heat is carried away. The higher the pressure the more
    interaction with gas molecules and more heat is taken from the
    filament. The electrical resistance of the filament depends on
    the filaments temperature. Therefore, the filaments electrical
    resistance depends on the pressure in the chamber. The
    electrical resistance is measured by following the ohms law. It

    can be done in two ways. Either keep the current constant and
    measure voltage or keep voltage constant and measure the
    current.
    V=I/R - Ohms Law

    Advantages:
    -Inexpensive
    -Rugged
    -Response to pressure change is good.

    Disadvantages:
    -Frequent Calibration is required
    -Electric power is must for operation

    Answer to Q.No. 10.:

    Different types of telemetering system:


    There are two types of telemetering systems. They are:
    1) Landline telemetry system
    2) Radio frequency system

    Landline telemetry system:


    The landline telemetry system comes under a category of a
    system with direct physical link. This physical link between the
    transmitter and the receiver is a telemeter channel. This system
    is most suited for short distance telemetry.

    Advantage: 1) The circuitry required for the measurement set


    up is very simple.
    2) The information can be transmitted in the form of
    voltage,

    current
