Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids.
VEGABAR 83 is especially suitable for applications with higher tem-
peratures and high pressures.
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.
Measuring ranges up to 16 bar: piezoresistive sensor element, meas-
uring ranges up to 25 bar: strain gauge (DMS) sensor element.

With small measuring ranges or higher temperatures, the METEC ®
measuring cell is the measuring unit. It consists of the ceramic-capac-
itive CERTEC ® measuring cell and a special, temperature-compen-
sated chemical seal system.
