Abstract

Pressure of a gas in a gas accumulator coupled to a fluid circuit is measured in a system involving separating gas from pressure fluid in a gas accumulator by a separating element, measuring pressure of the pressure fluid with a pressure detector coupled to the gas accumulator when the separating element is in a preadjustable position having a gas pressure assignable to it, detecting the preadjustable position by a monitor coupled to the pressure detector, and initiating measurement of the fluid pressure upon detection of the separating element in the preadjustable position.
