  • Patent number: 8973423
    Abstract: A measuring device according to the invention for determining the fill quantity of SF6 gas in an insulating chamber comprises a pressure transducer, a temperature measuring element and a processing device for determining the fill quantity of the SF6 gas from the pressure measurement value and the pertinent temperature measurement value, wherein the measuring device seals a corresponding opening of the insulating chamber and the SF6 gas to be measured acts directly upon both the pressure transducer and the temperature measuring element.
