Abstract
A system and method of sensing pressure in a device that seals against the outside of a pipe and has a probe projecting into the pipe.
Claims9
A system for sensing pressure in a pipe, comprising:
- a pressure sensor mounted within a flowmeter that is located outside and proximate a pipe, where the flowmeter comprises a probe projecting through a hole in the pipe and into the pipe;
- and
- a sealing structure between the flowmeter and the pipe, where the sealing structure and pipe are arranged to define a passage along the outside of the pipe, wherein the passage fluidly communicates with the hole and the pressure sensor, such that pressure in the pipe is communicated to the pressure sensor.
A method of sensing pressure in a pipe to which a device is sealed with a probe entering the pipe through a hole, comprising:
- locating a seal between the device and the pipe, wherein the seal, the device, and the pipe together are configured to create a passage along the pipe though which pressure from inside the pipe can communicate with a pressure sensor outside of the pipe.
