Abstract
Pressure sensors are configured for accurate, non-position sensitive pressure measurement. They can offer microprocessor-based features for optimized measurement, control, and signaling using precision-calibrated silicon piezoresistive microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensors provisioned within a durable, versatilely mountable housing. Such sensors can be mounted readily in alternate locations, configurations, and/or positions. They can also offer real-time temperature compensation, enable selectable analog outputs (such as 2-wire mA, 3-wire mA, or 3-wire V signals), enable adjustable range or subrange selection, support uni- or bi-directional settings, and allow local (pushbutton) or remote (via dry contacts) zeroing for accuracy.
Claims7
A pressure sensing apparatus for measuring pressure in a dry gaseous medium, comprising:
- a pressure sensing circuit;
- and
- a housing encompassing the pressure sensing circuit;
- wherein, the housing includes:
- at least one pressure port for cooperative engagement with a probe provisioned to measure pressure;
- and
- one or more members for mounting the housing in selected configuration, the selected configuration being chosen from among a plurality of mounting configurations enabled by the one or more members.
