  • Pressure measurement
    Patent number: 7278317
    Abstract: Pressure measurement may be achieved by using a pressure-conveyance media that responds to externally applied pressure to convey pressure to a pressure sensor. With the conveyance of pressure, the pressure measurement may be accomplished by determining a pressure of the pressure-conveyance media, determining a temperature of the pressure-conveyance media, and determining pressure externally exerted on the pressure-conveyance media based one the pressure of the pressure-conveyance media and the temperature of the pressure-conveyance media.
    Type: Grant

  • Liquidless seal connection
    Patent number: 7036382
    Abstract: A pressure instrument may include a seal connection connecting a pressure gauge to a process. A pressure sensor located in a base of the seal connection is in data communication with the pressure gauge that is spaced apart from the pressure sensor. Embodiments are particularly applicable on sanitary seal connections or where a low measuring range or high accuracy is required. Embodiments can include, for example, digital pressure gauges, pressure transducers and transmitters with any seal connection.

  • Access-protected programmable instrument system responsive to an instrument-pass
    Publication number: 20040215415
    Abstract: An electronic gauge system having an access module to restrict access to at least one programmable feature of the gauge. The access module is responsive to an instrument-pass to allow and to restrict access to at least one of the programmable features of the gauge. The gauge system may be coupled to a transmitter that allows the gauge to communicate with a central control system.
