Abstract
An apparatus includes a header containing a sensor configured to measure pressure and a sensor body connected to the header, where the sensor body and the header form a pressure vessel configured to receive an input pressure. The header is connected to the sensor body such that the input pressure received on an inner surface of the header is substantially equal to the input pressure received on an outer surface of the header. A lowest connection point of the header to the sensor body may be located at or above a highest point at which the input pressure extends into the header. A lower portion of the header may be unconnected to the sensor body and extend into an interior volume of the sensor body. The header may include a vent configured to expose the sensor to atmospheric pressure or a lower-pressure input pressure.
