  • Pressure sensor comprising a tip secured to a port
    Patent number: 9909947
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a pressure sensor includes a tip secured to a port. The tip includes an opening for receiving pressure to be measured by the pressure sensor. The port includes a threaded section for mounting the pressure sensor in a fixture such as, for example, a rail. The port also includes a flexible section, a cavity, and an opening. The opening in the tip receives pressure from an outside source and channels the pressure to the opening of the port. The opening of the port receives the pressure from the tip and channels the pressure to the cavity. The pressure received in the cavity applies a force to the flexible section which flexes in response to the force. Moreover, forces are provided by the tip and the threaded section to keep the tip secured to the port.
