  • Patent number: 10794787
    Abstract: A diaphragm seal assembly, which includes a measuring instrument, a pressure being transmitted from a process side to be monitored, via an arrangement of two diaphragms having an evacuated intermediate space disposed therebetween, to the measuring instrument, reliably separated from the process side, the fatigue strength of the diaphragm seal assembly under extreme application conditions being improved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 26, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020

  • Patent number: 10545065
    Abstract: An adapter for a diaphragm seal, having a first coupling area for fluid-tight coupling with a process port, a second coupling area for fluid-tight coupling with a diaphragm seal and an adapter diaphragm, which is disposed fluid-tight at a junction between the first coupling area and the second coupling area and is designed to come into contact with a seal diaphragm in a mounted state of the diaphragm seal. A measuring system is also provided for measuring a pressure, a fill level and/or a temperature of a process medium within an apparatus, and an apparatus of this type.

  • Patent number: 6263739
    Abstract: A membrane pressure sensor has a hollow space formed between a housing (1) and a cover (2), which is subdivided by two membranes (6; 61, 62) parallel to each other into a pressure sensing space (24) for impingement with a fluid with a pressure to be measured, into an air evacuation space between the membranes (6; 61, 62), and into a measurement fluid filled pressure output space (13) to forward the pressure to a pressure measurement arrangement (10), wherein the membranes (6; 61, 62) are made of a perfluoroalkoxy copolymer (PFA) and are designed shaped and congruent with the interposition of a plastic fiber insert (63). In this pressure sensor, the membrane (61) on the pressure sensing side is in direct contact with the cover (2), and an O-ring (3) is provided to seal the air evacuation space between the housing (1) and the cover (2). The housing (1) and cover (2) are made of a fluoropolymer.
