摘要:
A pressure transducer, including a housing having a housing axis and a measuring cell chamber defined in the housing. The measuring cell chamber is exposable to a pressure via an opening. The opening is surrounded by an annular, first sealing surface. A pressure measuring cell having a second sealing surface facing towards the opening, and a support surface facing away from the sealing surface, sealing ring; and a clamping apparatus, which engages the housing are provided. The pressure measuring cell and the sealing ring are clamped by means of an axial claimping force in such a manner between the clamping apparatus and the first sealing surface, that the sealing ring is arranged pressure-tightly between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface. The pressure transducer further includes a misalignment accommodating arrangement, which includes a first transmission body, which faces toward the opening, and a second transmission body, which is facing away from the opening. The axial clamping formce is transmitted through the misalignment accommodating arrangement from the clamping apparatus to the pressure measuring cell, and the first transmission body is tiltable relative to the second transmission body about two mutually perpendicular axes.

The sealing arrangement includes, a decoupling ring, as well as a first and a second, ring-shaped sealing element.

For minimizing the span error of a pressure sensor having an essentially cylindrical platform and a measuring membrane joined to an end face of the platform, wherein the pressure measuring cell is axially clamped between an elastic sealing ring, which bears against the membrane-containing, end face of the pressure measuring cell, and a support ring, which supports the measuring cell on the rear side thereof, the dimensions of the support ring are matched to the dimensions of the sealing ring and the pressure measuring cell in such a way that a radial deformation of the membrane-containing end face resulting from the axial clamping of the pressure measuring cell is sufficiently small that the span error of the pressure sensor because of a reduction of the axial clamping force by a least 10% amounts to not more than 0.02%. The geometry of the support ring is determined iteratively by means of the FEM.

Additionally, arranged between the support ring and a clamping ring is a stiff decoupling element, which minimizes the temperature hysteresis of the span. The geometry of the support ring and the decoupling element is determined iteratively by means of FEM.
摘要:
To avoid any deterioration of the surface properties of objects of ceramic, glass, or a single-crystal insulating material which are subjected to a vacuum temperature process, a thin layer of a spin-on glass solution with a silicon-dioxide equivalent of not more than 10% is applied to the objects by spinning or spraying prior to the vacuum temperature process. This is particularly important to avoid the strong moisture dependence of capacitive or resistive pressure sensors having a substrate and a diaphragm to be joined together, forming a chamber sealed at least at the edge. The diaphragm is covered with a layer of silicon carbide, niobium, or tantalum serving as one capacitor electrode, or the surface portion of the diaphragm which will lie within the chamber is coated with at least one strain gage; the portion of the substrate surface which will lie within the chamber is coated with at least one additional capacitor electrode or, in the case of the resistive pressure sensor, not coated therewith; over the entire surface portion of the substrate and diaphragm thus coated, a thin layer of the spin-on glass solution is applied and dried; contact is made to the capacitor electrodes or strain gages through the substrate and/or diaphragm, and substrate and diaphragm are brazed together by a ring-shaped part of active brazing material, which also serves as a spacer, or by a sufficient amount of active brazing paste.

摘要:
To provide a flush-mounted and corrosion-resistant pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of a medium which, on the one hand, is very rugged and, on the other hand, has a casing (2) mechanically isolated from the sensing element (1) as perfectly as possible, and whose measured values exhibit little temperature dependence and little hysteresis, the casing (2) has an internal space (21) and is preferably pot-shaped for receiving the sensing element (1). An annular, particularly annular-disk-shaped, flexible connecting element (3), disposed between the casing (2) and the sensing element (1), and the sensing element close the interior space (21) toward the medium to be measured, and a liquid (4) fills the enclosed interior space (21).
