ABSTRACT:
A pressure transducer includes two plates of insulating, high strength low hysteresis material. At least one of the plates is thin so as to form a flexible diaphragm at the pressure levels to be measured. Both plates have a thin layer of conductive material on their facing surfaces. The diaphragm plate has a thin metallized layer fired onto its periphery on the opposite side from the conductive layer. The plates are bonded together and spaced apart by a peripheral layer of frit. This combination forms a capacitor which varies in capacitance as the diaphragm deflects. The capacitor is peripherally mounted to a shoulder within a plated fitting in a manner which allows fluid to enter a pressure chamber which applies fluid across the surface of the diaphragm. The peripheral mounting is accomplished by soldering the metallized layer to a shoulder on the fitting extending around the pressure chamber. Since the solder does not react with rubber deteriorating fluids, the pressure transducer may be used for measuring the pressure of fluids which deteriorate gaskets formed of rubber or similar materials.
