Abstract
A system includes a probe, a transducer, and a sealing feature. The probe is detachable and includes a first gas path extending from a head to a mount. The transducer is configured to mate with the mount and includes a second gas path with an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the outlet of the first gas path when the transducer is mated with the mount and at least one sensor disposed along the second gas path. The sealing feature includes a first membrane configured to allow pressure to be conveyed from the first gas path to the second gas path when the transducer is mated with the mount while preventing contaminants from entering the second gas path when the transducer is distant from the probe.
