  • Publication number: 20250035501
    Abstract: A pressure transducer having a sensor module comprises a sensor body including a measuring cell chamber, in which a pressure measuring cell is contactable with a pressure via a first hydraulic path filled with a second pressure transfer liquid, and a transfer module for transferring a pressure to the first hydraulic path. The transfer module has, filled with a first pressure transfer liquid, a second hydraulic path, which extends from a process diaphragm through a transfer body to a transfer diaphragm. The transfer diaphragm is secured pressure-tightly on the transfer body. The sensor body is connected pressure-tightly with the transfer body in such a manner that the first hydraulic path is in communication with the transfer diaphragm such that the pressure of the second hydraulic path is transferable through the transfer diaphragm to the first hydraulic path.

  • Publication number: 20250027828
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for measuring high pressures includes: a housing having a sealed volume filled with a compressible fill liquid, wherein the housing includes an elastically deflectable diaphragm having a rear side facing the filled volume and a front side opposite the rear side such that the diaphragm transmits a pressure applied to the front side of the diaphragm to the fill liquid; and a measuring unit adapted to ascertain a variable dependent on velocity of sound in the fill liquid and, based on the measured variable, to determine a pressure measured value representing the pressure on the front side of the diaphragm, wherein the fill liquid contains an organic compound, which is present in the fill liquid at a volume fraction of greater than 99%.

  • Publication number: 20230251156
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a piston diaphragm seal for transmitting a pressure of a medium to a pressure-measuring sensor a base body having a recess and a bore which is connected to the recess. The recess and the bore can be filled with a pressure transfer medium. A piston is arranged in the recess and can be moved within a predetermined region in the recess. A surface of the piston facing the medium can be loaded with the pressure of the medium, wherein the piston is separated by at least two sealing elements from the medium and the pressure transfer medium. A cavity is arranged in the piston between the at least two sealing elements. An attachment region is provided for connecting the piston diaphragm seal to the pressure-measuring sensor. A monitoring unit is designed to determine and/or monitor entry of medium and/or pressure transfer medium into the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20230013563
    Abstract: A field device for processing and automation technology includes a first and a second component that can each be mechanically connected at a joining surface by means of a joining point. Two metal surface layers are each applied at least to the joining surface of the first component and the joining surface of the second component. The metal of the surface layers is different from the metal of the first and/or the metal of the second component. A joining material is applied between the respective joining surfaces of the two components, wherein the joining material includes particles at least partially consisting of a metal that corresponds with the metal of the surface layers The joining of the two components occurs at a joining temperature below 300° C.
