Abstract
The invention relates to an expansion body having an equalization chamber, which is separated by an elastic diaphragm from a fluid which flows through part of the expansion body. A mechanical spring applies an additional spring force to the diaphragm, wherein the spring has mechanical prestress. In addition, the invention relates to an SCR system with such an expansion body, and a method for monitoring a pressure sensor in such a SCR system with an expansion body. The method comprises the following steps: first, an anticipated characteristic pressure at which the spring force of the spring of the expansion body is overcome is defined by setting the prestress of the spring in the expansion body.
