Working Principle

Under applied pressure, the ceramic diaphragm of the Mini-CERTEC® measuring cell deflects, causing a capacitance change that is converted into a proportional electrical signal.
The built-in temperature sensor continuously monitors process temperature, which can be displayed locally or transmitted via Bluetooth.

Applications

The VEGABAR 10 / 20 / 30 series is used for:

• Measuring pressure and level in liquids, gases, and vapors
