_________ is used for measuring vacuum.
A. LVDT
B. Rotameter
C. Pirani gauge
D. Anemometer
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Explanation:
Pirani gauge
Pirani gauge is used for measuring vacuum (very low pressures).
The circuit diagram of measuring pressure is as shown:
Features of Pirani Gauge:
- Useful for pressure measurement ranging from 10-1 to 10-3 mm of Hg
- It is rugged in construction
- Less costly
- Usually more accurate than thermocouple gauges
LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer):
- LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) is to convert the rectangular movement of an object to the equivalent electrical signal.
- The working principle of the linear variable differential transformer or LVDT working theory is mutual induction; The dislocation is nonelectrical energy that is changed into electrical energy.
Rotameter
- Rotameter is a constant pressure drop variable area flowmeter.
- It measures the flow rate of liquid or gas.
- As area changes, there will be a change in the Volumetric flow rate.
- No electricity is required.
The construction is as shown:
- Anemometer is a device that is used to measure wind speed in the atmosphere.
- It is commonly used at weather stations.
