Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure gauge for measuring the pressure of a fluid, the pressure gauge being designed for a pressure range with a maximum pressure, with: a housing with a housing wall which is filled with a filling fluid; a pressure connection located in the housing wall; a tubular spring located in the housing and connected to the pressure connection, whereby a fluid can flow through the pressure connection into the tubular spring, whereby the tubular spring is designed to expand in the direction of the housing wall when pressure is applied by the fluid, thereby mechanically acting on an indicator to indicate the pressure of the fluid; and at least one volume reduction element which is at least partially located in the housing between the tubular spring and the housing wall in the direction of expansion of the tubular spring, whereby the at least one volume reduction element is an injection-molded plastic part.
