Abstract

The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a pressure sensor in a pressure transmitter. The mounting assembly includes a header having a cavity opening to a first surface. The cavity is defined by an inner endwall and an inner sidewall. A support is joined to the inner endwall within the cavity on a first support end. A pedestal has a first pedestal end supporting the pressure sensor and a second pedestal joined to the second support end. Aligning means align the second pedestal end to the second support end in order that a volume of the mounting assembly is increased to thereby reduce a quantity of fill fluid needed in the sensor cavity.
