摘要:
An isolator (10) for use in pressure transmitters comprises an isolating diaphragm (14) that is thin, and made of a suitable corrosion resistant metal, such as tantalum, and which must be anchored to an isolator housing (12) made of a substantially different metal such as stainless steel. The present invention relates to securing a support ring (24) of the same metal as the diaphragm (14) surrounding the cavity (15) formed for the isolator fluid, preforming a thin metal diaphragm (14) made of the selected material, and then welding the diaphragm (14) and a ring (34) overlaying the diaphragm directly to the support ring (24).
摘要:
A differential pressure sensor (10) senses a difference in pressure between a first input (low) pressure (12) or "reference pressure" and a second input (high) pressure (14) and provides a differential sensor signal representative of the difference in pressure. The reference pressure is sensed by a reference pressure sensor (26) which provides a reference signal representative of the reference pressure. The differential sensor signal and the reference signal are provided to a correction circuit. The correction circuit (24), which is preferably a digital computer, adjusts the reference signal and provides an improved output signal as a function of the differential sensor signal and the adjusted reference signal.
