  • Patent number: 6571614
    Abstract: An injection pressure sensor (10) intended for use with a fluid source (12). The injection pressure sensor (10) has a sensor element (14) in communication with the fluid source (12) and in communication with a pressure reference source (16). The injection pressure sensor (10) also includes a sensor body (20) and a plunger element (26). If the injection pressure sensor (10) experiences high fluid pressures, the sensor element (14) can fail and fluid can escape past the sensor element (14). When the sensor element (14) fails, the plunger element (26) moves from an inactive position (28) into an active position (32). When the plunger element (26) is in the active position (32), fluid is generally prevented from escaping the sensor body (20).

  • Patent number: 6321769
    Abstract: An injection pressure sensor (10) intended for use with a fluid source (12). The injection pressure sensor (10) has a sensor element (14). and a tube member (18). The tube member (18) creates a fluid pathway (20) between the fluid source (12) and the sensor element (14). The tube member (18) contains a collapsible portion (22), such that when the tube member (18) is bent, the fluid pathway (20) is generally closed.
