The Pirani gauge is a robust thermal conductivity gauge used for the measurement of the pressures in vacuum systems. This gauge is used to measure the pressure between 0.5 torr to 10-4 torr.
pirani guage can measure upto 10^-3 torr pressure but penning guage can measure beyond this
26
0.0641 is 14 gauge.
16 gauge
They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.
pirani guage can measure upto 10^-3 torr pressure but penning guage can measure beyond this
it is used to measure the accurate pressure

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.

It comes from the city of Piran in Croatia.
AdvantagesSignificantly better resolution in the range above 100 Torr. [5]The power consumption is drastically reduced compared to continuously operated Pirani gauges.The gauge's thermal influence on the real measurement is lowered considerably due to the low temperature threshold of 80°C and the ramp heating in pulsed mode.The pulsed mode allows for efficient implementation of modern microprocessor technology.It will useful up to 10^-4 torr.Disadvantages Increased calibration effortLonger heat-up phaseIt is not useful at low pressure(below 10^-4torr)
