Abstract
A relative pressure measuring instrument has a reference pressure feed that offers a high measure of safety and is easy to produce. Included is a relative pressure measuring cell having a pressure sensitive element, on whose process-facing side there is present during operation a pressure (p) to be measured, on whose process-averted side there is present during operation a reference pressure (p ) to which the pressure (p) to be measured is to be referred, a support on which the relative pressure measuring cell is arranged and which is enclosed in a housing, a process connection, that is connected to a process-facing end of the housing, a measuring instrument housing that is arranged at a process-averted end of the housing, and a reference pressure feed through which during operation the reference pressure (p ) is led to the process-averted side of the pressure sensitive element, and which leads completely out of the relative pressure measuring instrument laterally through the support and a single bore through the housing.
