• Vacuum Measured products Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids. VEGABAR 83 is especially suitable for applications with higher tem- peratures and high pressures. Measuring system The process pressure acts on the sensor element via the process diaphragm and an internal transmission liquid. The process pressure causes a resistance change which is converted into a corresponding output signal and outputted as measured value.
