Abstract
A device for determining a physical value of a liquid flowing in a pipe, without contact with the liquid. The device includes: a sensor for the physical value; a connector to insert into the pipe and including: an internal passage extending between two apertures, a flexible membrane for a pressure sensor, forming a wall of the internal passage; and a fastening mechanism for fastening the sensor onto the connector. The sensor is a temperature sensor fastened to the connector with the sensitive part of the sensor turned towards the membrane.
Claims12
A device for determining a physical value of a liquid flowing in a pipe, without contact with said liquid, said device comprising:
- a sensor for sensing said physical value;
- a connector to insert into said pipe and comprising:
- an internal passage extending between two apertures,
- a flexible membrane adapted to cooperate with a pressure sensor to determine the pressure of said flowing liquid, and also adapted to cooperate with a temperature sensor to determine the temperature of said flowing liquid, said flexible membrane forming a wall of said internal passage;
- and
- means for fastening said sensor onto said connector;
- wherein said sensor is a temperature sensor fastened to said connector with the sensitive part of said sensor turned towards said membrane.
