Question:medium

A Pirani gauge measures vacuum pressure and works on the principle of

Show Hint

Thermal conductivity gauges (like Pirani and Thermocouple gauges) are ideal for medium to high vacuum ranges ($10^{-3}$ to $100\text{ Torr}$).
They all rely on heat transfer rates changing with gas density.
