A device for connecting one or more sensors to a pipe, may include a sealed capsule and a pipe connector. The sealed capsule may include the one or more sensors and a non-corrosive liquid. The pipe connector may be configured to fix the sealed capsule to the pipe. The one or more sensors may be configured to measure pressure or pressure transient from a first liquid via the non-corrosive liquid.

A pressure sensor for capturing pressures of up to 1000 bar includes a sensor assembly and a housing sleeve for accommodating the sensor assembly. Furthermore, the pressure sensor includes a membrane in mechanical connection with the housing sleeve and operative connection with the sensor assembly for transmitting a pressure. Pressure acts in an axial direction on the membrane and in a radial direction on the housing sleeve. The housing sleeve includes a constriction which locally increases an elasticity of the housing sleeve. The housing sleeve includes a reinforcement which locally reduces an elasticity of the housing sleeve. At high pressure, locally induced changes in the elasticity of the housing sleeve result in a reversible change in length of the housing sleeve, both in the radial direction and in the axial direction.

A pressure detection sensor having a piezoelectric film with a first region and a second region located outside the first region, the piezoelectric film being deformable by a pressing operation, a first electrode pair disposed on a first main surface and a second main surface in the first region of the piezoelectric film, and a second electrode pair formed on a first main surface and a second main surface in the second region of the piezoelectric film. When the piezoelectric film receives a pressing operation, the first electrode pair outputs a voltage having a polarity different from that of the second electrode pair.
