Abstract

A differential pressure transducer having a cantilever and a semiconductor strain gauge attached to each side of the cantilever at an intermediate portion of the latter. The cantilever has one end fixed by electron beam welding to a fixing member and the other end left for free displacement in response to a differential pressure. The displacement of the other end of the cantilever is detected as changes in the electric resistances of the semiconductor strain gauges.
