what is difference between wheatstone bridge, pirani gauge
and strain gauge ??? explain its principle and working

Answer Posted / www.islamqa.com

wheatstone bridge used in many circuits for variety of
purposes , it's main idea is to change 1 resistor of 4
resistors and get this resistance change in form of voltage
change.

Strain gauge is a "pressure sensitive resistance" which
attached to the wheatstone bridge to consist "pressure
transmitter"/pressure monitoring system.

R chnage by pressure as R=L*(ROH)/A , L:LENGTH and A:AREA
are changing by pressure , this leads to R change.

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
