Abstract

A thermal conductivity type pressure gauge comprises a gauge head (2) being rotatably mountable in a vessel whose environmental pressure is to be measured and an elongate electrical filament (6) mounted in the gauge head, the gauge head (2) having an inlet where through the electrical filament is exposed to the environmental pressure within the vessel and the filament (6) having directional component lengths in two orthogonal axes, one of the orthogonal axes X—X being parallel to the axis of rotation of the gauge head (2).
