  • Publication number: 20210404898
    Abstract: A flow-through pressure transducer comprising a cylindrical diaphragm positionable to allow fluid to flow therethrough which responds to variations in fluid pressure to generate an electrical signal proportional to such variations and which is incorporated in a housing for interconnecting with fluid delivery tubing. The diaphragm is made of relatively thin resilient metal, shaped to be a tube, elliptical in cross-section, with transducers, located on the elliptical major and minor axes which change their electrical state in response to movement of the diaphragm walls, and which are coupled in a bridge circuit for signal measurement. The housing is constructed for either gage or absolute fluid pressure measurements.
