<p>A self monitoring pressure transducer includes a reference chamber, that transmits the pressure through a fluid medium to the flat side of a diaphragm, using a piezoelement, arranged in the reference chamber, as an electrically controllable actor. The piezoelement can modulate the pressure in the reference chamber by a predetermined quantity. The modulation of the measuring signal associated with this pressure modulation permits self-monitoring of the pressure transducer while it is in operation.</p> |
