Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The sensor assembly comprises: a bowl shaped, namely at least sectionally dished, membrane, with a curved surface and an oppositely lying surface; and a sensor blade extending from curved surface of the membrane. The membrane is so formed that at least one region of the curved surface adjoining the sensor blade is convex. A sensor formed by means of such a sensor assembly and by means of a transducer element coupled therewith and serving for generating a sensor signal representing movements of the sensor blade changing as a function of time and/or deformations of the membrane changing as a function of time, or a measuring system formed by means of the sensor and a measuring electronics connected thereto, can be used for registering pressure fluctuations in a flowing fluid, such as, for instance, a 400 C hot steam, for instance, in order to measure a flow parameter of the fluid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A sensor assembly, comprising: a bowl shaped, namely at least sectionally dished, membrane, with a curved, first surface and an oppositely lying, second surface; and a sensor blade extending from said first surface of said membrane, wherein: said membrane is so formed that at least one region of said first surface adjoining said sensor blade is convex and corresponds to a surface of a spherical zone. 2. The sensor assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: said membrane is so formed that a top area of said spherical zone corresponds to a cross sectional area of said senor blade.
