2.2 Intended use

Mechanical differential pressure measuring instruments are used for the display of levels on
closed vessels, particularly in cryotechnology. Depending on the version, integrated trans-
mitter electronics can be used to output an electrical output signal for control. An optionally
mounted valve manifold facilitates commissioning and maintenance of the instrument. Option-
ally, the working pressure can be measured additionally with a pressure gauge or a pressure
sensor.
The instrument offers many application possibilities, in particular for gaseous and liquid
gases, and also for media that are non-aggressive, not highly viscous and non-crystallising.
Only use the instrument in applications that lie within its technical performance limits (e.g.
temperature limits, material compatibility, ...).
→ For performance limits see chapter 8 "Specifications"
