What are the drawbacks of pirani gauge?

The Pirani gauge is base on a heating element that is cooled due to the thermal conduction of the measured gas. The heating elements resistance drops as the thermal conduction is increase i.e. more gas results in a drop in resistance. On the other hand less gas results in less conduction increased temperature of the heating element and increased measured resistance. This is a very robust gauge and is suitable for relatively high pressures, down to 10^-4 Torr. Below that you need a different gauge as the low number of gas molecules does not allow any measureable change.
