Pressure transducer

A pressure transducer is described in which the sensing element is a crystal of the monomeric charge transfer complex of pyrene and tetracyanoethylene

Pressure transducer

Pressure-sensitive transducer, consisting of a series of spindle-supported electrically conductive metal washers connected to electrical sensing circuitry, determines the force exerted between a mounting bolt and nut on relatively fragile components

System for calibrating pressure transducer

A system for calibrating a pressure transducer which has a reference portion and an active portion is reported. A miniature selector valve is positioned immediately adjacent the pressure transducer. A reference pressure, known pressure, and unknown pressure can be selectively admitted to the active side of the pressure transducer by the selector valve to enable calibration of the transducer. A valve admits pressure to the selector valve which has a piston and floating piston arrangement which allows proper selection with very small linear movement

Cryogenic pressure transducer

Cryogenic pressure transducer utilizes a diaphragm which is electron beam welded to a fitting. This assembly is then heliarc welded to the main body of the transducer. The transducer requires no damping oil and thus is capable of operating at both cryogenic and high temperatures

Pressure transducer system is force-balanced, has digital output

Forced-balanced pressure transducer and associated circuitry controls pressure testing of space equipment systems under actual operating conditions. The transducer and circuitry automatically converts the sensed pressure to digital form

Inertia diaphragm pressure transducer

Transducer measures gas pressure profiles in high temperature, short duration, gas flows usually found in devices where pressure pulses may have durations of few microseconds to several milliseconds. Assembly includes fluid delay line, delay chamber, and flow restrictor for equalizing steady state pressure on diaphragm's side

Trielectrode capacitive pressure transducer

A capacitive transducer and circuit especially suited for making measurements in a high-temperature environment are described. The transducer includes two capacitive electrodes and a shield electrode. As the temperature of the transducer rises, the resistance of the insulation between the capacitive electrode decreases and a resistive current attempts to interfere with the capacitive current between the capacitive electrodes. The shield electrode and the circuit coupled there reduce the resistive current in the transducer. A bridge-type circuit coupled to the transducer ignores the resistive current and measures only the capacitive current flowing between the capacitive electrodes

New type pressure transducer for severe thermal environments

Pressure transducer used in a rocket motor chamber to measure the amplitudes and frequencies of dynamic pressures /exceeding 2000 psi/ occurring during unstable combustion. the transducer utilizes a transpirational cooled porous beryllium plug and pressure transmitting column

Transducer measures force in vacuum environment

Transducer assembly measures force in a vacuum environment. The assembly consist of a standard capacitance probe and a torque beam. This transducer can be used in high-pressure as well as in low-pressure environments for static and dynamic force measurements
