FIELD: instrument making, namely devices simultaneous measurement of two parameters such as pressure and differential pressure values, for example in pressure drop flow meters. SUBSTANCE: capacitive pickup includes body, power membrane, member for transmitting effort secured to front mean portion of power membrane, measuring membrane whose plane is arranged by angle 70-110 degrees relative to plane of power membrane and that is shifted relative to central portion of power membrane. Mean portion of measuring membrane is joined with effort transmitting member. Pickup also includes capacitive transducer with movable and stationary electrodes. Movable electrodes are arranged at different sides from axis passing through mean portion of measuring membrane in parallel with plane of power membrane; they are connected with surface of measuring membrane and form in pairs with respective stationary electrodes two capacitors whose capacitances characterize measured parameters. EFFECT: improved design providing possibility of measuring two parameters by means of single elastic member and total measuring electronic circuit of pickup. 10 cl, 5 dwg
