Adjusting member for measuring device

Abstract

Advantageous measurement devices and systems of the present disclosure and methods / techniques for adjusting the same are disclosed herein. The present disclosure provides improved measuring devices (e.g., pressure / temperature measuring devices), and improved systems / methods for adjusting one or more features (e.g., offset and / or range) associated with a measuring device. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a sealed measuring device (such as a sealed signal adjustment device, such as a sealed pressure transducer or transmitter) having an adjustment member (e.g., a magnet member) that allows a user to adjust the offset and / or range of the sealed measuring device. The measuring device includes an adjustment member that allows a user to adjust one or more features of the measuring device. For example, a sealed pressure transducer may include a magnet member that allows a user to finely (precisely) adjust the output offset and / or range (e.g., in situ) without damaging the housing or housing of the measuring device.

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Other measurement devices require the user to remove the nameplate screw and nameplate to gain access to a button or the like in order to attempt to adjust the offset and / or span, and this presents risks (e.g., exposing the inside of the sealed transmitter, and / or disabling the Risk of exposure to energy in hazardous areas (hazloc)

Additionally, sealed ports are expensive to design and manufacture, and relying on field personnel to reseal to meet safety requirements can be risky
