<p>A pressure sensor and a method of measuring pressure signals in a fluid medium. The pressure sensor comprises a sensing element for transducing pressure signals to electric signals and a mechanical amplifier connected to the sensing element, comprising an immersed appendage and a transmission element. The sensing element is enclosed within a case, and the mechanical amplifier is structured to seal the case and isolate the sensing element from the fluid medium. Pressure signals in the fluid medium cause movements in the appendage that are transmitted via the elongated transmission element to the sensing element that is isolated from the fluid medium. The method comprises the stages: Sensing the pressure signal and transmitting it via a transmission element to a piezoelectric sensing element inside the measuring apparatus.</p> |
