Proposed is a pressure sensor in which the measuring element (1) is separated from the fluid (6) whose pressure is being measured by a porous panel (5). In addition, the measuring element can be covered by a thin film (7) of elastomeric material. The porous panel (5) protects the measuring element (1) from direct contact with liquids. The film (7) of elastomeric material protects the measuring element in addition from attack by corrosive gases. These features ensure particularly simple and inexpensive protection of the measuring element (1).
