Abstract
The invention relates to a measuring sensor having an internal pump oxygen reference atmosphere which, in turn, has a device for compensating pressure which is so dimensioned that, on the one hand, mechanical damage because of overpressure in the reference volume is reliably prevented and, on the other hand, external influences on the composition of the pumped measured gas atmosphere are substantially excluded. The device for compensating for pressure is so dimensioned according to the invention that the particle exchange between ambient air and gas to be measured is opposed by a resistance which is defined by the limit current principle.
