Abstract
An arrangement for measuring a fluid pressure, comprising a pressure sensor portion ( ), which is devised for accommodation in a recess ( ), which is open at least at one end, wherein the pressure sensor portion ( ) in relation to the recess ( ) is to be dimensioned in such a way that the pressure sensor portion ( ) is surrounded by a gap ( ) for receiving fluid, wherein first and second surfaces ( ), which are situated on the pressure sensor portion ( ) and in contact with fluid, are so dimensioned and aligned that forces, which are exerted by the fluid pressure on the first surfaces ( ) and push the pressure sensor portion ( ) in the direction of the open end of the recess, are equal to or lower than the forces, which are exerted by the fluid pressure on the second surfaces ( ) and push the pressure sensor portion ( ) away from the open end of the recess ( ).
