Pressure Sensor and Pressure Relief Valve Testing - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035914 titled 'Pressure Sensor and Pressure Relief Valve Testing
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a pressure sensor assembly designed for remote testing of a pressure sensor in a container. The assembly includes an enclosed chamber with two openings - one to communicate with the interior of the container and the other to communicate with the pressure sensor. The chamber has a channel for pressure transmission between the two openings, with a constriction formed in the channel. The assembly also includes an air injection system to inject a test pulse of air into the chamber, creating a back pressure in response to the test pulse. The functional operability of the pressure sensor is verified based on the pressure measured in response to the test pulse.
- The pressure sensor assembly is used for remote testing of a pressure sensor in a container.
- It includes an enclosed chamber with two openings - one to communicate with the container's interior and the other to communicate with the pressure sensor.
- The chamber has a channel for pressure transmission between the two openings.
- A constriction is formed in the channel.
- An air injection system is used to inject a test pulse of air into the chamber.
- The constriction creates a back pressure in the chamber in response to the test pulse.
- The pressure measured in response to the test pulse is used to verify the functional operability of the pressure sensor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Remote testing of pressure sensors in containers, such as in industrial or manufacturing settings.
- Monitoring air pressure in sealed containers, such as storage tanks or shipping containers.
- Quality control and maintenance of pressure-sensitive equipment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables remote testing of pressure sensors without direct access to the container.
- Provides a method to verify the functional operability of pressure sensors in sealed environments.
- Allows for efficient monitoring and maintenance of pressure-sensitive systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Reduces the need for physical access to containers for pressure sensor testing.
- Enables quick and accurate verification of pressure sensor functionality.
- Facilitates proactive maintenance and troubleshooting of pressure-sensitive equipment.
- Improves overall efficiency and reliability of pressure monitoring systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
a pressure sensor assembly () for remote testing of a pressure sensor () adapted to monitor the air pressure developed in an interior () of a container (), the pressure sensor assembly () comprising: an enclosed chamber having (): a first opening () arranged to communicate with the interior of the container (); and a second opening () arranged to communicate with the pressure sensor () for monitoring air pressure developed in the interior () of the container (); wherein the chamber () defines a channel for transmission of pressure between the first opening () and the second opening () and wherein a constriction () is formed in the channel, the pressure sensor assembly () further comprising: an air injection system () adapted to inject a test pulse () of air into the enclosed chamber (), between the constriction () and the second opening (), wherein the constriction () is configured to create a back pressure in the enclosed chamber () in response to the test pulse of air (), and functional operability of the pressure sensor () is verified based on the pressure measured in response to the test pulse of air ().
