Abstract:
1. A pressure transducer, comprising: a header having a housing of generally offset cylindrical shape, the housing having a first section of a first diameter and a second section of a second diameter wherein the first and second diameter are substantially the same, the first section having a front side and a back side, wherein the front side of the first section has a first flexible diaphragm adapted to receive a first pressure, the second section having a front side and a back side, wherein the front side of the second section has a second flexible diaphragm adapted to receive a second pressure, and further wherein the second section is offset from the first section of the housing such that portions of the back side of the first section are accessible, a channel positioned within the offset cylindrical housing that extends between said first and second diaphragms, and a sensor having a sensing diaphragm positioned in said channel wherein the sensing diaphragm communicates with the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm and deflects in accordance with the difference between the first and second pressures.
