Abstract: A pressure transducer comprising an elongate hollow outer housing having a pressure sensor diaphragm and externally positioned fixing means which facilitates pressure tight introduction of the diaphragm into a pressure sensing port provided in apparatus capable of generating pressures to be sensed, two elongate members positioned within the outer housing in operative association with the diaphragm so as to move differentially in a direction parallel with the longitudinal axis of the housing consequent upon movement of the diaphragm responsively to a pressure to be sensed, and transducer means responsive to differential movement between the elongate members for producing a signal in dependence upon the pressure sensed.
