Macleod Gauge
Macleod Gauge
A MacLeod gauge, also known as a McLeod gauge, is a type of low-pressure gauge used to measure the pressure of gases. It is primarily used to measure low pressures, ranging from 10^-4 to 10^-6 millibar. The MacLeod gauge consists of a metal bellows that is evacuated to create a low-pressure chamber. The pressure of the gas to be measured is then introduced into the bellows, causing it to expand. The amount of expansion is proportional to the pressure of the gas, and can be measured by observing the position of the gauge's pointer.
The MacLeod gauge is commonly used in a variety of applications, including measuring the pressure of gases in vacuum systems, leak detection, and quality control in the manufacture of vacuum tubes. The gauge is also used in laboratory settings for scientific research and experimentation.
The MacLeod gauge is known for its accuracy and reliability, and is a popular choice for low-pressure measurements in a variety of applications. However, it is limited in its ability to measure high pressures and should not be used in applications requiring high-pressure measurements.
