4. Design and function
Description
Pressures p

and p

are given in the ⊕ and ⊖ measuring chambers, separated
by the magnetic piston under pressure(or magnetic piston and separating
diaphragm for model 700.02).
The difference in pressure causes an axial movement (deflection) of the piston
supported by the compression spring.
The deflection resulting from this is taken up by a ring magnet found on the
instrument pointer and appropriately displayed. This design combines the
advantages of complete separation of the measuring system and the indication
while eliminating any leakage to the exterior.
For model 700.01 the volume flow from the ⊕ measuring chamber to the ⊖
measuring chamber is minimised by the constructive design and will not interfere
with standard processes.
These instruments are mainly intended for gas/air supply and preparation appli-
cations where no magnetic particles are involved.
