  • Patent number: 11614376
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for converting a pressure into an electric signal. The device has a first deformation body in the form of a first membrane, via which the pressure can be introduced into the device, and a second deformation body in the form of a second membrane, by means of the deflection of which the applied pressure can be converted into an electric signal. The device has a force transmitting means for transmitting pressure and/or tensile forces from the first deformation body to the second deformation body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11022513
    Abstract: A pressure measuring device comprises a capacitive pressure measuring cell, a process connector including a retaining element, a housing mounted on the process connector, and a sealing element arranged between an inwardly projecting region of the retaining element and the pressure measuring cell. The retaining element is configured with a cap with a base area portion and an outer area portion bent over with respect thereto and fitted over an end face of the process connector. The retaining element is in a material-bonded and/or form-fit manner connected to the process connector exclusively in the bent-over outer area portion so that the base area portion assumes a resilient property.

  • Patent number: 9103701
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly, in particular for measuring a process variable, which consists of a measuring instrument having a process connection and a housing, which is partially rotationally symmetrical at least in the region of the process connection, and of an adapter having a through-hole, which extends in the axial direction, and a sealing web in the through-hole. The measuring instrument and the adapter are connected to each other in a releasable and sealed manner via two sealing surfaces. According to the invention, at least one of the sealing surfaces then has a coating composed of parylene. The invention furthermore relates to an assembly for the releasable and sealed connection of two medium-carrying parts, in particular pipelines.
