Abstract:
A system for non-intrusively measuring process fluid pressure within a process fluid conduit is provided. The system includes a measurement bracket configured to couple to an external surface of the process fluid conduit. The measurement bracket generates a variable gap based on deformation of the process fluid conduit in response to process fluid pressure therein. A gap measurement system is coupled to the measurement bracket and provides an electrical signal based on a measurement of the variable gap. A controller is coupled to the gap measurement system and is configured to calculate and provide a process fluid pressure output based on the electrical signal and information relative to the process fluid conduit.
