Operating principle:

  • The standard's operating principle is based on the change in capacitance of a capacitor formed by an elastic sensing element (membrane) and a measuring (compensating) electrode isolated from it, under the influence of the measured pressure. This change in capacitance is converted into an electrical signal.The standard is based on the membrane-capacitance measurement method using the method of compensating for membrane deflection by electrostatic action. The capacitive method of fixing the membrane's position involves converting its mechanical movements into an equivalent change in the electrical capacitance of a measuring capacitor located in the transducer's measuring chamber. This change in capacitance is automatically compensated for by an electrical action that returns the membrane to its original position. A vacuum-reducing unit is used for measurements from 1 x 10-6 to 1 x 102 Pa. Its operating principle is based on a pressure reduction method, which transfers the unit of pressure from the low and medium vacuum region to the high vacuum region. The vacuum-reducing unit utilizes a system consisting of three vacuum chambers connected in series through which a rarefied gas flows. Diaphragms of high and low conductivity are installed between the chambers.
