Abstract

A process for measuring pressure, preferably vacuum is described. The measuring signals from a heat conduction gauge and the measuring signals from a gas friction gauge are processed to a common measuring signal preferably by multiplication. They are linearly superimposed or added. The heat conduction gauge is preferably a Pirani gauge and the gas friction gauge is preferably a tuning fork quartz gauge.
