The device comprises an evaluation unit and at least one transducer for feeding the electric signal to this unit on the occurrence of a characteristic event and the evaluation unit comprises a recognition unit sensing the occurence of the characteristic event. To permit determination of the trigger point characterizing the occurrence of the characteristic event also in the case of heavily noise-contaminated measuring signals the evaluation unit is provided with one or several comparators in addition to the recognition unit, whose thresholds are spaced out over a certain range of levels, and--depending on whether the transducer signal has reached the threshold of the recognition unit--by using the information contained in the evaluation unit, which is influenced by the sequence of the comparator responses according to the signal shape delivered by the transducer, for determination of the trigger point characterizing the occurence of the characteristic event, in a manner predetermined in the evaluation unit.

A pressure measuring device is provided with a change-over valve connecting the pressure sensor either with the pressure to be measured or with a reference pressure. The change-over valve is actuated by a separate control pressure and will protect the pressure sensor from the influence of the pressure medium to be measured in the spring-loaded idle position of the valve.

In addition to having at least one piezoelectric sensor element, a transducer is provided with at least one further measuring element, which is influenced by the state variable to be measured in the same way as the piezoelectric sensor element, and has its own signal lead. The additional measuring element may also be a piezoelectric element which may be excited so as to produce mechanical vibrations by utilizing the inverse piezo-effect, the change of the vibration characteristics of the vibration system consisting of the excited piezo-element and its environment serving as a measurement value for a static or quasi-static measurement.

Transducer with a piezoelectric sensor element

A device for ascertaining the internal pressure in a pressure system, particularly in a fuel injection pipe system, wherein the pressure to be measured is contained within an element which includes at one point a wall portion of reduced thickness so as to act like a membrane, and wherein a sensor device is included which is positionable in engagement with the membrane-like wall portion to detect any elastic deformation and variation of the membrane caused by the influence of the internal pressure.

A transducer with a flexible sensor element for measurement of mechanical values, at least one flexible piezoelectric sensor element being provided for piezoelectrical or capacitive measurement, the opposite surfaces of the sensor element being at least partially connected to electrically leading contact surfaces.

Transducer with a flexible sensor element for measurement of mechanical

A transducer device for measuring mechanical values on hollow bodies, such as the internal pressure in pipes, by detecting deformation in the outer surface thereof, comprises a housing for removably enclosing the hollow body whose outer surface deformation is to be measured and at least one elastic sensor element which is capable of being elastically and at least indirectly pressed against the outer surface of the hollow body by an elastic endorsing element and capable of stretching due to the deformation of the hollow body due to frictional contact therewith. The endorsing element is combined with the sensor element and/or at least a part of the housing into one piece, whereby manufacture and adjustment of the transducer device are simplified.

In a pressure indicator for measurement of hot pressure mediums, comprising an indicator housing adjustable to an opening in an enclosure for the medium to be measured, a measuring element, and a power train comprising a diaphragm connected to the housing and a power transmission element for connecting the diaphragm to the measuring element, a narrow gap is provided for between at least one of the parts of the power train on the one side and the housing on the other side, and that part of the housing being adjacent the gap is substantially in direct heat conducting connection with the enclosure for the medium when the indicator is adjusted to the opening therein.

Pressure indicator for measurement of hot pressure mediums

A transducer device for measuring mechanical values on hollow bodies, which comprises a housing and at least one elastic sensor element mounted in the housing. The element is so formed as to be connected with at least two points of the housing and has a free length between these connecting points so as to be stretched over the surface of the hollow body when the transducer device is attached.

A transducer device for measuring the internal pressure in pipes, comprises two housing parts which are articulately connected with one another by a connecting element and adapted to be fixedly mounted on the pipe by means of a clamping device. Each housing part contains at least one measuring element with a bipolar take-off of the test signals. At least one pole of each take-off is electrically conductingly connected with a part of the connecting element which is electrically insulated relative to the other pole and the connecting element comprises connection terminals for the further conduction or transmission of the test signals. The other pole is potentially in direct connection with the pipe. Thereby, a convenient and easy way is created for achieving electric compensation of the interfering signals within the transducer itself, thus replacing the separate, in each case bipolar conduction of the test signals out of the two housing parts with a combined, now altogether bipolar outgoing lead for the fully compensated test signals from the transducer.

A transducer for measuring the internal pressure in pipes, preferably injection pipes of diesel engines by determination of pipe deformations, comprises a rigid housing enclosing the pipe in which the pressure is to be measured, and at least one elastic sensor element arranged inside the housing and adjacent to at least a part of the circumference of the pipe. The sensor element and the housing are detachably mounted on the pipe and between the housing and the sensor element there is arranged an endorsing element elastically forcing the sensor element against the pipe whereby deformations of the pipe are transmitted frictionally to the sensor element.
