The process membranes are deflected on both sides by the acting pressures. A filling oil
transfers the pressure to a side of the measuring element where a resistance bridge is
located (semiconductor technology). The differential-pressure-dependent change of the
bridge output voltage is measured and further processed.

Advantages:
• A customized unit can be specified.
• Low flow cut off: when activated, this function suppresses small flows which can lead to
large fluctuations in the measured value.
