    Abstract: A differential pressure sensor is a body with first and second interior channels connected to process fluid inlets and separated by a barrier. Each side of a MEMS pressure sensing diaphragm in the barrier is fluidly connected to a process fluid inlet. The diaphragm is mounted on a hollow pedestal such that one side of the diaphragm is fluidly connected to a process fluid inlet through an interior channel in the pedestal that is adhesively attached to an annular bottom of a cylindrical cavity inside the body. The other side of the diaphragm is fluidly connected to the other process fluid inlet and is fluidly isolated from the first fluid inlet by the adhesive at the bottom of the pedestal. Deformation of the diaphragm due to a pressure difference between the process fluid inlets detected by sensors on the diaphragm indicates a differential pressure.

    Abstract: A differential pressure sensor may include a body with a first end, second end and wall wherein the first and second ends comprise isolator diaphragms connected to first and second process fluid inlets. A MEMS pressure sensor including a pressure sensing diaphragm with first and second sides may be mounted on a hollow pedestal adhesively attached to an annular bottom of a cylindrical cavity wherein the first side of the sensor is coupled to the first isolator diaphragm by a first fill fluid and the second side of the sensor is coupled to the second isolator diaphragm through the interior of the hollow pedestal by a second fill fluid volume wherein the first and second fill fluid volumes are separated by an adhesive seal between the bottom of the cylindrical cavity and the bottom of the hollow pedestal wherein the cylindrical cavity comprises a first cylindrical wall with a first diameter in contact with the annular bottom, a frustroconical portion in contact with the first cylindrical wall and in contact with a second cylindrical wall with a second diameter larger than the first diameter such that the increased distance between the pedestal and the cylindrical wall prevents adhesive moving up the space between the pedestal and cavity wall from the bottom of the cavity when the pressure sensor and hollow pedestal are mounted in the cavity. The sensor further includes sensor elements on the MEMS diaphragm that provide an indication of pressure differences between the first and second process fluids.
