● The inlet pressure (hydrostatic pressure) works hydraulically on the measuring cell
● Differential pressure at the measuring cell is transmitted to the differential pressure
● When measuring limits are exceeded, the overload diaphragm
● The seal diaphragm
● The change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the
