When taking measurements in a closed container without or with little condensation
formation, the negative pressure line is not filled.

Measurement assembly on a closed container:
no or little condensation separation
When taking measurements in a closed container with strong condensation formation, you
must fill the negative pressure line (mostly with the condensation of the measured medium)
and install a condensation pot.
For measurement on open vessels there is no need to connect the minus pipework, since
the minus side is open to the atmosphere.
