The invention relates to a method for producing a Bourdon tube pressure gauge 1, comprising at least a housing 2, a Bourdon tube 3 and a process carrier 5, wherein the process medium enters the Bourdon tube 3 via a fluid channel starting from the process carrier 5 and the process carrier 5 is constructed in two parts, wherein a first part is connected to the Bourdon tube 3 as a spring carrier 4 and a second part serves as a connecting element 18 and both parts are joined and connected in the housing 2. In order to enable a low bearing retention, it is provided for the manufacture of a Bourdon tube pressure gauge 1 that the connecting element 18 and/or the spring carrier 4 has a round shoulder 17, 23 and the shoulder 17, 23 is inserted into a radial bore 7 of the housing, wherein first a connection is made between the shoulder 17, 23 of the connecting element 18 and spring carrier 4 and then a connection of the shoulder 17, 23 to the housing 2. Thus, it is possible to provide different connecting elements 18 as well as spring supports 4, which are only assembled and welded together according to the customer's requirements, whereby these are accommodated in a housing 2 and welding to the housing 2 also takes place, so that the Bourdon tube pressure gauge 1 to be finished can be assembled individually in each case.
