Popis: The characteristics of four commercial strain-gauge pressure transducers suitable for measurements in a temperature range from 4.2 to 293 K were determined in the presence of magnetic fields up to 6 T. The highest pressure measured was 3.5 MPa. Tests showed that if the transducers are used in these conditions and no corrections are made, uncertainties up to 19% of the transducer full scale may be inherent in measurements. When such high error levels are unacceptable, the transducers must be individually calibrated under the working conditions: in this way the uncertainties in pressure measurements can usually be kept below 1 % of the transducer full scale.
