  • Patent number: 5631634
    Abstract: A pressure sensor assembly includes a disk entirely of metal and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced petals, separated by a plurality of radially extending slots. The slots extend from the periphery of the disk to a position near the center. However, the disks are in electrical communication with one another. A pair of wire leads are respectively placed at terminals on two separate spaced-apart disks with the opposite end portion of the leads connected to an alarm monitor. The disk body can be used in low or high temperature applications and is corrosion resistant and preferably entirely metallic (for example, stainless steel). The disk body is designed to be installed between standard pipe flanges, between a flange and a rupture disk holder, or in a holder that is used as, or located downstream of, a rupture disk or similar device. The device is designed to cause a discontinuity (open circuit) in an electrical circuit as a result of fluid flow through the pipe.
