Abstract:
A pressure transducer apparatus having a flexible shock absorber in direct contact with the sensing element of a pressure transducer to prevent the direct application of harmful external environmental elements. A metal disk is located on the top of the shock absorber to provide mass for absorbing particle momentum. An air gap surrounding the shock absorber provides space for radial expansion of the shock absorber.
