Abstract:
1. A pressure sensor, comprising: a pressure sensor assembly, the pressure sensor assembly including: a first housing member defining an inner surface, wherein the inner surface of the first housing member is configured to surround at least part of the differential pressure sensor housing, the first housing member having a first pressure port that extends from external to the first housing member to the inner surface of the first housing member, wherein when the inner surface of the first housing member surrounds the at least part of the differential pressure sensor housing, the first pressure port of the first housing member is in fluid communication with the first pressure port of the differential pressure sensor housing; a second housing member defining an inner surface, wherein the inner surface of the second housing member is configured to surround at least part of the differential pressure sensor housing, the second housing member having a second pressure port that extends from external of the second housing member to the inner surface of the second housing member, wherein when the inner surface of the second housing member surrounds the at least part of the differential pressure sensor housing, the second pressure port of the second housing member is in fluid communication with the second pressure port of the differential pressure sensor housing; and the first housing member and the second housing member are secured to one another and form a protective housing around the differential pressure sensor housing, with the one or more leads of the pressure sensor assembly accessible from external to the first housing member and the second housing member.
