摘要： There is disclosed a high pressure sensing header which is relatively insensitive to mounting torque. The header generally includes an outer torque isolating shell which has a “C” shaped cross section with the cylindrical shell surrounding an inner “H” section header. The inner “H” section header has a thick diaphragm and is at least partially surrounded by the torque isolating shell. In this manner, when the header is installed, the installation force is absorbed by the outer shell and there is relatively no installation force or torque exhibited by the inner “H” section which will respond only to stress due to pressure.

摘要： A transducer comprising a filter assembly that measures low amplitude, dynamic pressure perturbations superimposed on top of a high static pressure through the implementation of a low-pass mechanical filter assembly. The filter assembly may comprise a dual lumen reference tube and a removable filter subassembly further comprising a porous metal filter and narrow diameter tube. The transducer, which may be capable of operating at ultra-high temperatures and in harsh environments, may comprise of a static piezoresistive pressure sensor, which measures the large pressures on the order of 200 psi and greater, and an ultrasensitive, dynamic piezoresistive pressure sensor which may capture small, high frequency pressure oscillations on the order of a few psi. The filter assembly may transmit static pressure to the back of the dynamic pressure sensor to cancel out the static pressure present at the front of the sensor while removing dynamic pressure.

摘要： A filter assembly for use with a static-dynamic piezoresistive pressure transducer that measures low amplitude, dynamic pressure perturbations superimposed on top of a high static pressure through the implementation of a low-pass mechanical filter assembly is disclosed. The filter assembly may comprise a dual lumen reference tube and a removable filter subassembly further comprising a porous metal filter and narrow diameter tube. The transducer, which may be capable of operating at ultra-high temperatures and in harsh environments, may comprise of a static piezoresistive pressure sensor, which measures the large pressures on the order of 200 psi and greater, and an ultrasensitive, dynamic piezoresistive pressure sensor which may capture small, high frequency pressure oscillations on the order of a few psi or less. The filter assembly may transmit static pressure to the back of the dynamic pressure sensor to cancel out the static pressure present at the front of the sensor while keeping dynamic pressure from reaching the back of the sensor. In this manner, the filter assembly enables the transducer to accurately read dynamic pressure in the presence of high static pressure without rupturing the thin diaphragm of the dynamic pressure sensor.

摘要： It is an objective of the present invention to provide a highly sensitive optical pressure sensor that uses a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer to measure pressure. The pressure sensor comprises a deflectable diaphragm including a substantially central boss and channel and an optical waveguide having a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first arm is substantially aligned with an edge of the boss and the second arm is substantially aligned with an edge of the channel, and further wherein the first and second arms contain a periodic array of etched holes to improve the overall sensitivity of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor further comprises a light source coupled to the optical waveguide for introducing light to the waveguide and a light detector coupled to the waveguide for detecting changes in the intensity of light. The change in light intensity is then correlated to an applied pressure.

摘要： There is disclosed a high pressure sensing header which is relatively insensitive to mounting torque. Essentially the header consists of an outer torque isolating shell which has a “C” shaped cross section with the cylindrical shell surrounding 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 which can accommodate a crush ring, and when the unit is installed, the crush ring is forced or crushed against an installation wall to enable the inner header to receive pressure without experiencing any significant installation force.
