    摘要: A pressure transmitter has a pressure sensor coupled to an isolator diaphragm by a fill fluid such as oil. According to the invention, means are provided for measuring the position of the isolator diaphragm and comparing the measured position with an expected position to give an indication of fill fluid leakage. Non-contact arrangements such as capacitive and ultrasonic techniques are disclosed for measuring isolator diaphragm position, as well as contacting arrangements such as switches. The fill fluid loss arrangement can be incorporated into a two-wire transmitter, which transmitter can be made to send a warning signal to a control unit when fill fluid loss is detected.

    摘要: A strain gauge sensor for providing an electrical output responsive to a parameter applied to a substrate. A homogenous thin film circuit is deposited on an insulating layer which is deposited on a substrate of single-crystal material. The thin film circuit includes a strain gauge responsive to strain transferred through the insulating layer from the substrate and resistance trimming networks trimmed by removal of thin film material from the trimming networks to adjust zero and gain. A diaphragm is etched in the substrate to form a pressure sensor. An optional support layer may be added to the sensor for mounting the sensor to a surface.

    摘要: A pressure sensor is provided for measuring a pressure difference between two fluids which does not require isolation fluid. The pressure sensor includes a diaphragm support member having an outer periphery and diaphragms coupled thereto. Movement of the diaphragms are the movement of a moveable member. The movement can be sensed to determine the applied differential pressure. The coupling member is joined to the outer periphery with a web. The web is recessed from opposed outwardly facing surfaces of the outer periphery, and first and second diaphragms disposed on opposite sides of the diaphragm support member. Each diaphragm is joined to the outer periphery and to the coupling member.

    摘要: A sensor has an electrical interconnect grown in a cavity between first and second layers that are bonded together. Electrically conductive grain growth material is selectively deposited on at least one of two electrically conductive film interconnect regions that face one another across the cavity. The grain growth material is then grown upon predetermined conditions to form the electrical interconnect between the two interconnect regions. A sensor element deposited in the cavity is electrically coupled between the layers by the interconnect. The grain growth material can be tantalum that is heated after the layers are bonded to grow grains that interconnect the electrically conductive films.

    摘要: A pressure transmitter with first and second absolute pressure sensors receives process pressures from corresponding first and second process inlets. A transmitter circuit coupled to the first and second absolute pressure sensors generates a differential pressure type output. A third absolute pressure sensor coupled to the transmitter circuit receives atmospheric pressure from a third inlet. The transmitter circuit generates a second type of transmitter output that can be a gage or absolute pressure type. Single crystal. sapphire pressure sensors are preferred to provide enough accuracy for measuring accurately over 200:1 pressure range.

    摘要: A pressure sensor utilizes the effect of different elastic moduli between layers or sections of different material that are bonded together to form a body, so that when the bonded material unit is subjected to a uniform hydrostatic external pressure, the differences in the elastic moduli of each of the materials will cause the materials to deflect in a predictable manner proportional to pressure. The amount of warpage or deflection of the body of material can be measured as a function of pressure. Specifically, two layers of materials, such as silicon and borosilicate glass, which have substantially different elastic moduli can be bonded across an interface surface to form an assembly, and when subjected to a substantially uniform pressure on the exterior surfaces the assembly will deflect for indicating applied pressure at relatively high pressure ranges. The bonded material assembly is placed in a fluid to provide a substantially uniform applied hydrostatic pressure on all exposed surfaces of the bonded material assembly.
