A package structure for a differential pressure sensor, and an electronic device are provided. The package structure includes: a substrate and a housing, an edge of the housing is fixed to a front side of the substrate and defines a first chamber with the substrate; and a pressure sensing element fixed to the front side of the substrate and disposed in the first chamber, the pressure sensing element is provided with a second chamber and a pressure sensing layer, the pressure sensing layer being disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber is connected with the outside via a first through hole, and the second chamber is connected with the outside via a second through hole.

The present invention relates to a differential pressure sensor device, comprising a substrate, another layer formed on a main surface of the substrate and a first cavity and a second cavity separated from each other by a membrane. The first cavity is in fluid communication with a channel that is in fluid communication with a vent hole through which air can enter from an environment of the sensor device. The channel extends within the other layer or the substrate in a plane that is substantially parallel to the main surface.

A leakage of liquid inside a differential pressure detection device is reliably preventable. A diaphragm portion that detects a differential pressure as a pressure difference between a high pressure side and a low pressure side includes an annular member, a strain gauge provided in a hollow portion of the annular member, and a first plate and a second plate provided such that the annular member and the strain gauge are sandwiched. The first plate and the second plate each abut on a first annular packing. A first groove and a second groove (the first annular packing) overlap with the annular member when viewed from a first direction along an axis of the first hole.

A method for diagnosing a differential pressure line of a differential pressure measurement arrangement includes capturing a first set number of differential pressure values, which represent a difference between a first media pressure and a second media pressure within a process, and checking whether the differential pressure measurement arrangement and/or the process are in a state that allows a diagnosis of the differential pressure line. Where it is determined that the differential pressure measurement arrangement and/or the process are not in a state that allows a diagnosis of the differential pressure line, the differential pressure values are captured anew such that the previously captured differential pressure values are deleted or overwritten. Otherwise, a diagnostic function to determine whether a differential pressure line is blocked is carried out.

A curved recess in a stopper includes a groove-pattern region and a groove-free region. When a sensor diaphragm reaches a bottom of the curved recess in the stopper, a groove-free region is divided into a ring-shaped first region with which a sensor diaphragm is in close contact and a ring-shaped second region disposed between an inner wall surface of a ring-shaped wall and the ring-shaped first region. The first region serves as a sealing region and the second region serves as a confinement region so that a pressure transmitting medium that remains in a space adjacent to the inner wall surface of the ring-shaped wall is confined in the confinement region, and abnormal deformation of the sensor diaphragm is prevented.

A process transmitter includes an isolation unit, a process sensor, a compensation circuit, and an output circuit. The isolation unit is configured to engage a process and includes a medium. The process sensor is configured to produce a process signal that is a function of a parameter of the process that is communicated through the medium. The compensation circuit is configured to compensate the process signal for a response time of the isolation unit, and output a compensated process signal. The output circuit is configured to produce a transmitter output as a function of the compensated process signal.

A process pressure transmitter includes transmitter electronics disposed within a housing coupled to a pressure sensor formed by a cell body defining an interior cavity. A deflectable diaphragm separates the interior cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The deflectable diaphragm includes a groove region located around a periphery of the deflectable diaphragm.

A pressure measuring device configured as a multi-function device operable as a differential pressure switch (DPS); a differential pressure transducer (DPT); a pressure switch (PS); a pressure transducer (PT) providing readings of high and low pressure zones; a data recording logger; and a backwashing controller. The pressure measuring device may use at least two piezoelectric sensors operable to measure pressure attributes. The associated electronic hardware, processing unit, cables and pressure tubing are retrofittable and packaged in a molded case, with no moving parts with the electronic hardware fully coated to make the device reliable and resistant to extreme environmental conditions. The device is configured for remote access, enabling remote device configuration, maintenance and servicing. The device is further operable to communicate with various external devices: a tablet, a smartphone and the like as a user interface and further provides wired interface with a programmable logic controller (PLC) via RS-485 interface.

A differential pressure indicator includes a multi-polar driving magnets train clamped on a piston pin that moves in response to the changes in pressure conditions, thereby driving a multi-polar follower magnet carrying an indicating member, to move across a scale for a total angular range of 90° to 270°. The exact angular displacement of the follower magnet per unit linear displacement of the driving magnets train is decided by varying the relative magnetic strengths of the driving and follower magnets or by varying the spacing between adjacent magnets of the driving magnetic train. Further, magnetic flux of an auxiliary magnet fitted on the piston pin at a 90° orientation relative to the driving magnet train is utilized for actuating a magnetic switch in the switch assembly.

A pressure transducer is disclosed that includes an absolute pressure sensor assembly, a differential pressure sensor assembly, a main pressure port in communication with the absolute pressure sensor assembly and the differential pressure sensor assembly, a reference pressure port in communication with the differential pressure sensor assembly, and a compensation circuit in communication with the absolute pressure sensor assembly and the differential pressure sensor assembly. The compensation circuit is configured to reduce an error in an output of the differential pressure sensor assembly (due to absolute pressure) by at least a portion of an output received from the absolute pressure sensor assembly.
