摘要： There is disclosed a high pressure sensing header which is relatively insensitive to mounting torque. The header comprises an outer torque isolating shell which surround an inner “H” section header. The inner “H” section header has a thick diaphragm and is surrounded by the torque isolating shell which is secured to the “H” section header at a peripheral flange of the “H” section header. In this manner when the header is installed, the installation force is absorbed by the outer shell and there is no installation force or torque exhibited by the inner “H” section which will respond only to stress due to pressure. The torque isolating shell also contains a top surface which has a counterbore that accommodates a crush ring. When the unit is installed, the crush ring is crushed against an installation wall to enable the inner header to receive pressure without experiencing significant installation force.

摘要： A high pressure transducer has an H shaped cross-section with a center arm of the H having a top and bottom surface with the top surface of the H accommodating four strain gauges. Two strain gauges are located at the center of the top portion of the center arm of the H and are positive strain gauges, while two strain gauges are located near the periphery of the center arm of the gauge. The bottom surface of the center arm of the gauge has an active area of a smaller diameter than the circular diameter of the center arm portion of the transducer. The smaller active area is surrounded by a thicker stepped area which surrounds an active area on the pressure side of the H shaped member. The surrounding stepped area enables one to position the two negative strain gauges on the opposite surface of the center arm and near the periphery to thereby cause the negative gauges to respond to a negative stresses and therefore to enable one to provide a full Wheatstone bridge which includes the two positive strain gauges located at the center of the center arm of the H and the two negative peripheral gauges.

摘要： A multi-load beam transducer includes a fixed member, a movable member, and a plurality of load beams positioned between the members, each beam separated by a given distance normal from each other and positioned about a longitudinal axis between the members. The plurality of load beams are responsive to forces exerted on the members. The transducer further includes a plurality of resistors positioned on selected ones of the plurality of load beams. The resistors have a resistance value which varies with an applied force with the plurality of resistors electrically connected and operable to determine the value of the applied forces.

摘要： A beam transducer employs a linear bearing which surrounds the active element of the transducer which is the beam. One end of the bearing is welded to the inactive end of the load beam. The other end of the bearing is not welded, allowing the active end of the beam to move freely. The linear bearing eliminates friction and jamming which will cause inaccurate load measurement, but the ability to allow the active element to move freely with one end free enables the load beam sensitivity to be maximized. The free end is sealed environmentally by employing a flexible metal membrane or diaphragm which is welded between the bearing end and the load beam. This configuration provides a hermetic seal to protect the load beam and the sensitive gages which are placed on the load beam.

摘要： A single pressure sensing capsule has a reference pressure ported to the rear side of a silicon sensing die. The front side of the silicon sensing die receives a main pressure at another port. The difference between the main and reference pressure results in the sensor providing an differential pressure output. The reference pressure or main pressure may be derived from a pump pressure which is being monitored. The pump pressure output is subjected to a pump ripple or a sinusoidally varying pressure. In order to compensate for pump ripple, a coiled tube or an adjustable dampening chamber comprising a spiral inlet tube and a volume cavity can be used. The tube length is selected to suppress the pump ripple as applied to the sensor die. In this manner, the pump ripple cannot cause resonance which would result in pressure amplification and which pressure amplification would destroy the sensor.
