A PRESSURE GAUGE FOR PLASMAS SUBJECTED TO LARGE DYNAMIC ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS,

Abstract

A static pressure gauge, comprised of a transducer and a resistance bridge, for use in high-temperature (4000K), high-pressure (0.5 to 10 atm), plasma flow of short duration (10 msec) is described. The transducer is electrically insulated from the flow and used when the plasma is 1 kV above the instrumentation reference. The gauge output is free of negative pickup when used in a 4. 0-Wb/sq m time-varying, crow-barred sinusoidal negative field of 4-msec quarter wavelength. (Author)
