Tire pressure sensor assemblies including a tire pressure sensor for mating with an over-inflation pressure relief valve in an aircraft wheel system

A tire pressure sensor assembly comprising:

• an over-inflation pressure relief valve engagable in a wheel of an aircraft wheel assembly;
• and
• a tire pressure sensor engaged with, and configured to be in fluid communication with, the over-inflation pressure relief valve and disengagable therefrom, the tire pressure sensor comprising:
• a sensor housing having a first engagement portion defining an opening;
• and
• a pressure sensing element within the sensor housing and in fluid communication with the opening of the sensor housing.

An aircraft wheel system, comprising:

• a wheel having a sensor receptacle;
• an over-inflation pressure relief valve within a pressure relief housing having a stem configured to mate with the sensor receptacle and defining a tire inflation gas entry opening, the over-inflation pressure relief valve comprising a frangible disk configured to rupture at a predetermined pressure;
• and
• a tire pressure sensor engageable with and disengagable from the over-inflation pressure relief valve, the tire pressure sensor in fluid communication with the over-inflation pressure relief valve.
