  3. Absolute pressure meter for high-precision measurement

Absolute Pressure Meter

Absolute pressure measurement is the conventional method for measuring pressure in a sealed system, such as when venting a system with a vacuum pump, or evacuating refrigeration systems, or heat pumps.

What you should know about absolute pressure measurement

Druck wird je nach Anwendung absolut oder relativ gemessen. Dabei bezieht sich jeder gemessene Druck auf einen Referenzwert. Beim Absolutdruck (Kennzeichnung: P abs) ist die Referenzgröße das absolute Vakuum (0 bar¬), was dem luftleeren Raum im Universum entspricht. Der von Wetter oder Höhe unabhängige Absolutdruck zeigt also die Differenz zum Vakuum. Ein Absolutdruckmessgerät besitzt drei Besonderheiten:

  1. Nur einen Schlauchanschluss.

  2. Zeigt ausschließlich positive Messwerte und kann nicht genullt werden.

  3. Ein eingeschlossenes Vakuum im Absolutdrucksensor (Referenzdruck).

Absolute pressure measurement

Measure absolute pressure – common applications in industry and technology

Alongside temperature and humidity, pressure is one of the most important and frequently measured physical measurement parameters. Measurement of the absolute pressure parameter is indispensable in numerous areas of work involving heating engineering, sanitation, and air quality in rooms and buildings, but also in process engineering. Whether with a pure absolute pressure meter or in combination with other relevant measurement parameters – you will find the best possible pressure measuring instrument for every application at Testo:
