Abstract:
1. A filling-level measurement device, comprising: (a) a housing; and (b) a measurement cell arranged in said housing; (c) wherein said measurement cell further comprises an essentially cylindrical measurement cell body with a membrane arranged crosswise relative to a longitudinal axis of said measurement cell body to define a substantially planar interface between said membrane and said measurement cell body, and wherein said measurement cell is mounted in said housing by means of a circumferential sealing element having a front-side edge substantially co-planar with said interface, said sealing element arranged between said measurement cell body and said housing; and (d) wherein said sealing element is arranged in an axial direction of said measurement cell body at a distance along said longitudinal axis, and said distance is selected from a range of optimal distances; whereby a measurement signal emitted by said measurement cell is substantially independent from a compression of said sealing element when said sealing element is assembled in said housing of said filling-level measurement device.
