Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, the present invention is further detailed explanation.
The pressure detecting system being applied to low pressure furnace tube apparatus provided by the invention, as shown in Figure 2, comprise control module 1, mechanical pressure switch 2 and capacitance-type pressure gage 3, described control module 1 is computing machine or single-chip microcomputer, and mechanical pressure switch 2 is connected between control module 1 and capacitance-type pressure gage 3 and forms a test loop.
