Abstract
A pressure port for attaching a stainless steel high pressure sensor to an automotive pressure line includes a cold rolled steel ring having a hex-shaped perimeter and a central bore, and a stainless steel stud welded in the ring. A flange of the stud abuts one face of the ring and an interlocking feature between the stud and the ring relieves stress on the weld during installation and removal of the assembly. An end of the stud extends beyond the ring and is threaded for attachment to the housing of a pressure vessel.
