²²So long as the isolating diaphragm is “slack” (i.e. has no appreciable tautness or resistance to movement), the pressure of the fill fluid inside the capillary tube will be equal to the pressure of whatever fluid is within the process vessel. If any pressure imbalance were to develop between the process and fill fluids, the isolating diaphragm would immediately shift position away from the higher-pressure fluid and toward the lower-pressure fluid until equal pressures were re-established. In real practice, isolating diaphragms do indeed have some stiffness opposing motion, and therefore do not perfectly transfer pressure from the process fluid to the fill fluid. However, this pressure difference is usually negligible.
