A transmitter (10) that provides an output indicating pressure difference between a line pressure and atmosphere outside the transmitter (10) is made intrinsically safe by coupling the sensor cavity (44) as well as other cavities (12, 13) where ignition can occur to atmosphere only through flame quenching paths. The opening (22) in the transmitter housing (10) in which the sensor (45) is mounted has a plug (41) including the sensor cavity (44) that holds the sensor (45), and a fitting (26) which is couplable to the pressure line. An isolator (35) is used for transmitted the process pressure to the sensor (45) through an isolator diaphragm (35A) acting on an incompressible filling the sensor …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 31, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 31, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 31, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
