    摘要: An apparatus includes a header containing a sensor configured to measure pressure and a sensor body connected to the header, where the sensor body and the header form a pressure vessel configured to receive an input pressure. The header is connected to the sensor body such that the input pressure received on an inner surface of the header is substantially equal to the input pressure received on an outer surface of the header. A lowest connection point of the header to the sensor body may be located at or above a highest point at which the input pressure extends into the header. A lower portion of the header may be unconnected to the sensor body and extend into an interior volume of the sensor body. The header may include a vent configured to expose the sensor to atmospheric pressure or a lower-pressure input pressure.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a sensor body, a sensor configured to measure differential pressure, and first and second pressure inputs in or on the sensor body. The pressure inputs are configured to provide multiple input pressures to the sensor. Each pressure input includes a barrier diaphragm configured to move in response to pressure and an overload diaphragm configured to limit movement of the barrier diaphragm. The overload diaphragm is also configured to exert a preload force against the sensor body. The overload diaphragm of each pressure input may include multiple convolutions. Bases of the convolutions may be configured to provide the preload force, and tops of the convolutions may be separated from the sensor body by gaps. Tops of the convolutions that are non-adjacent may be configured to provide the preload force, and tops of the convolutions between the non-adjacent convolutions may be separated from the sensor body by gaps.

    摘要: A pressure transmitter includes at least one impulse line for coupling a fluid pipe or tank to a pressure sensor that measures a process pressure of a process fluid, a temperature sensor measuring an ambient temperature, and a processor accessing baseline data for the process pressure and ambient temperature. The processor implements an automatic impulse line plugging diagnostic (ILPD) algorithm stored in memory. The processor runs the ILPD algorithm implementing utilizing process measurements including a process pressure from the pressure sensor and an ambient temperature from the temperature sensor, comparing a magnitude of the process pressure to a baseline pressure predicted from the baseline data corresponding to the ambient temperature, and uses results of the comparing to determine whether the impulse line is plugged. The comparing can involve comparing a process pressure change to a baseline pressure change predicted corresponding to an ambient temperature change.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a sensor body and a sensor configured to measure pressure. The apparatus also includes at least one pressure input in or on the sensor body, where the at least one pressure input is configured to provide at least one input pressure to the sensor. The apparatus further includes multiple fluid passages configured to convey the at least one input pressure from the at least one pressure input to the sensor using a fill fluid. The multiple fluid passages are configured to both (i) transport the fill fluid and (ii) absorb thermal energy in a flame created by the sensor before the flame exits the sensor body. The fluid passages can include long and narrow straight passages, long and narrow curved or helical passages, and turns or bends. The fluid passages can have small cross-sections relative to their lengths.

    摘要: A system includes at least one pressure sensor that is configured to generate a first signal in response to sensing a process and generate a second signal in response to sensing a drift detection condition different from the process. The system includes at least one processing device that is configured to determine a pressure measurement (Pprocess) of the process using the first signal, and determine a pressure measurement (AP2) of the drift detection condition using the second signal. The at least one processing device is configured to compare the pressure measurement of the drift detection condition to one of: the pressure measurement of the process or a reference value. The at least one processing device is configured to identify whether drift has deteriorated accuracy of the at least one pressure sensor based on the comparison.
