A diaphragm seal includes a first diaphragm that faces a measurement medium, a sealed-liquid housing, and a second diaphragm. The first diaphragm receives pressure from the measurement medium. The sealed-liquid housing houses a sealed liquid for transferring the pressure to a transmitter. The second diaphragm causes hydrogen intruded into the sealed liquid to permeate through the second diaphragm and be discharged from the sealed liquid.

In a pressure sensor, an electric field acting on one end surface of a sensor chip (16) is blocked by a shielding member (17), and an electric field acting on another end surface of the sensor chip (16) is removed through one end portion of a chip mounting member (18), a group of input and output terminals (40ai), and a bonding wire (Wi).

A method for manufacturing a pressure sensor having a pressure-sensitive medium. The method includes: providing a pressure sensor having a pressure sensor element, which is arranged in a receiving space of a housing of the pressure sensor; filling the receiving space with a pressure-sensitive medium; applying a second medium, which is immiscible with the pressure-sensitive medium, to a surface of the pressure-sensitive medium; forming a membrane in a boundary region between the pressure-sensitive medium and the second medium by way of a phase-transfer reaction between a first reactant and a second reactant, at least the first reactant or the second reactant being dissolved in the pressure-sensitive medium or in the second medium. A pressure sensor manufactured by the method is also described.

A sensor. The sensor include a sensing element for detecting a property and/or a composition of a surrounding medium of the sensor; a transmission medium for transmitting a property and/or a composition of the surroundings medium onto the sensing element, the transmission medium being situated in such a way that the transmission medium is applied to the sensing element; and a cover, which distances the transmission medium from the surrounding medium, the cover being manufactured from a self-healing material, in particular, the cover being designed as a flexible membrane.

A pressure reading assembly including a housing defining a conduit configured to transmit bodily fluid therethrough and a receiving tube having a first opening and an inner cylindrical surface. The pressure reading assembly further includes a sensing apparatus which includes a sensor disposed on a substrate and an engagement member including a generally columnar sealing member configured to engage an inner cylindrical surface of a receiving tube within the housing connected to the substrate about the sensor. The sealing member defines an axial bore extending from a proximal end to a distal end and includes an outer sealing surface defining one or more engaging elements configured to non-adhesively engage the inner cylindrical surface of the receiving tube to resist removal of the sensor assembly so that a pre-sterilized sensor assembly can be removed from a clean sealed packaging and joined directly with the housing.

An electronic pressure and temperature sensor includes a chamber disposed within a housing. The pressure and temperature sensor are disposed at a chamber first end. An opening is disposed at a chamber second end, wherein the opening is configured to be in fluidic communication with the fluid media. A viscous gel is disposed within a portion of the chamber and encloses the pressure and temperature sensor apart from the fluid media. A second temperature sensor is at least partially disposed within the housing and is not disposed within the chamber. The first temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the viscous gel, where the temperature of the viscous gel configured for use in temperature compensation calculations used to determine the pressure of the fluid media. The second temperature sensor is configured to measure a temperature of the flow of the fluid media.

The aim of the invention is to economically produce a pressure measuring sensor element, and relates, according to one aspect, to a method for producing a pressure sensor measuring element for a pressure sensor which comprises at least one membrane and a covering protecting the membrane, the pressure sensor element being produced in a layer-by-layer generative production method. This makes it possible to, for example, easily construct a combination sensor for detecting pressure and an additional parameter. It is also possible to structures for reinforcement or for influencing resonant frequency or for influencing heat conduction.

A pressure sensing package includes a sensor chamber and an annular chamber extending about the sensor chamber. A primary diaphragm divides the sensor chamber into a first part receiving a first pressure and a second part including a differential pressure sensor approximately centered with respect to a sensor axis and a first transmission fluid. The first transmission fluid transmits the first pressure to a first differential pressure sensor face. A secondary diaphragm divides the annular chamber into a first part receiving a second pressure and a second part including a second transmission fluid. The second pressure is transmitted to a second pressure sensor face via the secondary diaphragm and the second transmission fluid. The primary and secondary diaphragms are positioned with respect to one another along the sensor axis direction such that pressures other than the first and second pressures acting on the pressure sensor sum to approximately zero.

The disclosure relates to a device for converting a pressure into an electric signal. The device has a first deformation body in the form of a first membrane, via which the pressure can be introduced into the device, and a second deformation body in the form of a second membrane, by means of the deflection of which the applied pressure can be converted into an electric signal. The device has a force transmitting means for transmitting pressure and/or tensile forces from the first deformation body to the second deformation body. Either the force transmitting means is designed as a separate part and the two membranes have a bore into which the force transmitting means is at least partly introduced and in which the force transmitting means is connected to the respective membrane, or the force transmitting means is integrally formed with one of the two membranes and the corresponding other membrane has a bore into which the force transmitting means is at least partly introduced and in which the force transmitting means is connected to said membrane.

A pressure sensor arrangement (1) for measuring a pressure of a fluid is described, the sensor arrangement (1) comprising a connector housing (2) having a fluid opening (3) and a fluid chamber (4) in connection with the fluid opening (3), at least one pressure sensitive element (5), a membrane (9) arranged between the pressure sensitive element (5) and the fluid chamber (4), and pressure attenuation means (10). Such a pressure sensor arrangement should be able to protect the measuring membrane from high frequency pressure pulsations with low costs. To this end the pressure attenuation means (10) are arranged in the fluid chamber (4) in direct contact with the membrane (9) separating the membrane (9) from the fluid in the fluid chamber and comprise a homogenous incompressible material having a mechanical loss factor of 0.1 or higher at frequencies of 200 Hz or higher.
