Abstract

A pressure detector comprising a spring-loaded diaphragm mounted in a housing to define a pressure chamber to which test fluid is introduced. A pulse generating element is provided to generate an electrical pulse in response to a displacement of the diaphragm when the fluid pressure in the pressure chamber exceeds a predetermined level. An averaging circuit is connected to the pulse generating element to convert the pulses into a signal having a voltage level representative of the mean value of the pressure variation.
