Abstract

In an integrated multisensor used in a differential and static pressure transmitter, a pair of static pressure gages are formed on a static pressure detecting diaphragm and another pair of static pressure gages are formed at positions on a fixed portion which are near to the center of a differential pressure detecting diaphragm. The second term generated by a differential pressure appearing in a static pressure sensor is a function of a distance. Therefore, equal influence is exerted on each static pressure gage. Accordingly, by constructing a static pressure sensor so as to form a bridge circuit, a static pressure value free of the influence of a differential pressure can be detected, thereby making it possible to determine an accurate differential and static pressure.
