Abstract

A differential-pressure measuring instrument comprising a main body assembly with a pair of diaphragms each subject to a respective fluid pressure. The diaphragms enclose a sealed chamber containing a fill-liquid surrounding a non-magnetic vibratable wire which is tensioned in accordance with the applied differential pressure. A magnetic field passes transversely through the wire, and electrical current is supplied to the wire by electronic circuit means to produce a vibratory force on the wire as a result of interaction between the electrical current and the magnetic field.
