Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosure for adjusting and/or modifying outputs of sensors based on deadband effects, where sensor adjustments may be based on a value, which may be a constant, such as an error value for the sensor, or a dynamic value. Differential pressure values measured from the output of sensors are compared to the value, and, in response to the comparison, the output of the sensor may be set substantially to zero if the measured differential pressure value is less than the value. Otherwise, the measured differential pressure values are passed through if they are is equal to or greater than the value. Additional techniques employing zero offsets, span adjustment and error scale adjustments are further disclosed.

Abstract: A leak detection system for detecting a leak within a duplex valve assembly is disclosed. The duplex valve assembly includes a first valve, a second valve and an intermediate fluid flow passageway fluidly interconnecting the first valve to the second valve. The leak detection system includes a means for indicating whether the first valve is maintained in a closed position or an open position, a means for indicating whether the second valve is maintained in a closed position or an open position, and a pressure change detector within the intermediate fluid flow passageway. The pressure change sensing means is at least partially positioned within the intermediate fluid flow passageway for detecting a pressure change within the intermediate fluid flow passageway.
