PCT No. PCT/NO95/00048 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 9, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 9, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 3, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/24624 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 14, 1995Pressure gauge for very high pressures based upon a principle similar to the Bourdon tube, comprising a beam-shaped measuring element having an elongate cavity lying eccentrically in the cross section of the measuring element, and being supported by a holder member at one end. The measuring element is composed of two substantially plate-shaped parts manufactured in planar technology, preferably of silicium or quartz. One plate part is provided with an elongate recess in that surface which faces against a cooperating surface on the other plate part, so as to form the eccentric cavity. Both plate parts are jointed at the surfaces in such a manner that the cavity is sealingly closed. The measuring element is adapted to be subjected exteriorly to the very high pressures to be measured.
