Pressure sensor housing and pressure sensor being disposed inside a heater block
To provide a pressure sensor housing that is less likely to cause temperature distribution inside a pressure sensor when the pressure sensor is disposed inside a heater block, a pressure sensor housing includes a hollow cylindrical member extending along a predetermined axis core. A pressure sensor element that detects the pressure of a fluid is accommodated inside the cylindrical member. The entire circumference of a side surface thereof is surrounded by an air layer in the first posture in which an axis core of a space is aligned with the predetermined axis core with the hollow member disposed in the space. The side surface is in contact with a wall surface defining the space at a plurality of points at the same time in a second posture, which is at least one of postures in which the predetermined axis core is eccentric with the axis core of the space.
