A process variable transmitter is provided. The process variable transmitter includes a process variable sensor, and an electronics board having circuitry electrically coupled to the process variable sensor. The process variable transmitter also includes a shroud that holds the electronics board, and at least one stop feature to provide vibration damping. A method of manufacturing a process variable transmitter is provided. The method includes providing a process variable sensor. The method also includes providing an electronics board having circuitry configured to electrically couple to the process variable sensor. The method further includes forming a shroud to hold the electronics board, and forming at least one stop feature to support the electronics board when the electronics board is in the shroud.

Vibration damped electronics assemblies for process variable transmitters

An industrial process field device includes a pressure sensor, and a housing containing the pressure sensor. The housing includes a base having a base interface and a first base process opening. A flange is attached to the base and includes a flange interface having a first flange process opening. A first gasket process opening of a gasket is aligned with the first base process opening and the first flange process opening. A first surface of the gasket engages the base interface, and a second surface of the gasket engages the flange interface. A dielectric insulation system includes at least one dielectric layer that insulates the housing from electrical currents conducted through the flange. Each dielectric layer includes a layer of ceramic material, an anodized layer, or a plastic overmold, which improve a maximum working pressure of the field device.

Field device assembly including improved dielectric insulation system

A process fluid multivariable measurement system is provided. The multivariable measurement system includes a thermowell configured to couple to a process fluid conduit and extend through a wall of the process fluid conduit. The multivariable measurement system also includes a temperature sensor assembly disposed within the thermowell, the temperature sensor assembly having at least one temperature sensitive element disposed therein. The multivariable measurement system also includes a pressure sensor assembly coupled to the thermowell, the pressure sensor assembly having at least one pressure sensitive element disposed therein. The multivariable measurement system further includes transmitter circuitry, communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor assembly and the pressure sensor assembly, configured to receive a temperature sensor signal from the at least one temperature sensitive element and responsively generate a temperature measurement output based on the temperature sensor signal. The transmitter circuitry is further configured to receive a pressure sensor signal from the at least one pressure sensitive element and responsively generate a pressure measurement output based on the pressure sensor signal.

Thermowell with pressure sensing capabilities

A field device assembly includes an industrial process field device, a flange and a sealing and electrically insulating system. The field device includes a pressure sensor and a housing containing the active component. The housing includes a base having a base interface, which includes a first base process opening. The flange is attached to the base of the housing and includes a coplanar interface having a first flange process opening. The sealing and electrically insulating system includes a gasket that includes a dielectric material. A first process opening in the gasket is aligned with the first base process opening and the first flange process opening. A first surface of the gasket engages the base interface, and a second surface of the gasket that is opposite the first surface engages the coplanar interface. The gasket electrically insulates the housing of the field device from the flange.
