Abstract:
Certain implementations of the disclosed technology may include systems, methods, and sealed transducer assembly with a pressure relief vent. In certain implementations, a transducer assembly is provided having a vent bore and a rupturable membrane sealing the vent bore. The vent bore may extend from an internal portion of the transducer assembly to an external portion of the transducer assembly. The rupturable membrane is configured to maintain a seal within the internal portion of the transducer assembly for a first range of a pressure differential between the internal portion of the transducer assembly and the external portion of the transducer assembly, and rupture and vent pressure through the vent bore when the pressure differential exceeds the first range.
