Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0365005A2] The invention relates to a process and a device to determine the internal pressure of an evacuated container. It assumes that two electrodes (3, 4), which are insulated with respect to one another, are provided in a container (1). A high electric voltage (U) is applied to the electrodes (3, 4), and an electromagnetic radiation outside the container (1) is detected by means of a probe (5). In this regard, the invention proceeds from the innovative realisation that when the voltage remains constant the variation in intensity of said electromagnetic radiation is overlaid by variations in intensity with a frequency that represents a measure of the internal pressure in the container (1). Consequently, an output unit (7) is provided in order to analyse and to evaluate said frequency variation, and thus to obtain data on the internal pressure. <IMAGE>
