Abstract

A gas detecting and measuring device with which the gas or air to be examined is taken into a testing or measuring vessel such as an indicator tube by means of a feed system comprises an electrical motor driven suction pump and a pressure gauge connected thereto for pumping the gas to be tested through a connecting line. The connecting line includes the suction pump and a volume sensor provided in addition to a pressure sensor. The differential signal formed of the volume signal is converted in a characteristic generator to a desired pressure signal and the actual pressure signal from the pressure sensor is applied to a speed governor for the suction pump motor so that the suction pump is controlled to effect equalizing the actual pressure signal with a desired pressure signal.
