摘要： A pressure transducer for measuring pressures in high temperature environments employs a tube which is terminated at one end by an acoustic micro-filter. The acoustic filter or micro-filter has a plurality of apertures extending from one end to the other end, each aperture is of a small diameter as compared to the diameter of the transducer and the damper operates to absorb acoustic waves impinging on it with limited or no reflection. Mounted to the tube is a pressure transducer with a diaphragm flush with the inner wall of the tube. The tube is mounted in an aperture in a casing of a gas turbine operating at a high temperature. The hot gases propagate through the tube where the pressure of the gases are measured by the transducer coupled to the tube and where the acoustic filter operates to absorb acoustic waves impinging on it with little or no reflection, therefore enabling the pressure transducer to be mainly responsive to high frequency waves associated with the gas turbine operation.

摘要： A pressure transducer assembly for measuring pressures in high temperature environments employing an elongated tube which is terminated at one end by an acoustic micro-filter. The micro-filter is operative to absorb acoustic waves impinging on it with limited or no reflection. To improve the absorption of acoustic waves, the elongated tube may be tapered and/or mounted to a support block and further convoluted to reduce the overall size and mass of the device. A pressure transducer with a diaphragm flush may be mounted to the elongated tube and extend through to the inner wall of the tube. Hot gases propagate through the elongated tube and their corresponding pressures are measured by the transducer. The acoustic filter operates to absorb acoustic waves resultant from the hot gases, therefore enabling the pressure transducer to be mainly responsive to high frequency waves associated with the gas turbine operation.
