Gauge pressure measuring limits
● Measuring cell with inert oil
30 mbar a/3 kPa a/0.44 psi a
● Measuring cell with FDA-compliant oil
100 mbar a/10 kPa a/1.45 psi a
Upper measuring limit 100% of max. range (for oxygen measurement: max. 100 bar/10 MPa/
1450 psi and 60 °C ambient temperature/medium temperature)
Start of scale value Between the measuring limits (continuously adjustable)

For 250 mbar/25 kPa/3.6 psi measuring cells, the low measuring limit is 750 mbar a/75 kPa a/
10.8 psi a. The measuring cell is vacuum-tight down to 30 mbar a/3 kPa a/0.44 psi a.

The MAWP value of the pressure transmitter can be lower than the PN value of the mounting
flange and vice versa. To determine the maximum permissible operating pressure and the
maximum permissible test pressure, use the lowest value as reference.
