  • Patent number: 4161887
    Abstract: A differential pressure transducer utilizing fluid-filled chambers as pressure transfer linkage to an isolated, fluid-filled aneroid sensing system. Isolation diaphragms are spread by means of internal fluid pressure fill of transfer chambers, thus providing elevated line pressure mode and pressure-biased operation. Construction offers media isolation from sensitive interior elements of the transducer. Material to come into physical contact with a pressure medium may thus be chosen for specific application. Dual, nested aneroid sensors cooperated to produce a linear displacement in response to an applied pressure differential. A cantilever beam assembly responds to the linear displacement so caused by flexing in a degree proportional to the applied pressure differential. The fluid-filled sensing system may comprise nested, aneroid capsule diaphragms, carrying a sufficient amount of incompressible fluid to support the capsule diaphragm for high line pressure use.
