TLDR
In this article, an absolute pressure transducer including an open bellows, a suspension system, and a sealed bellows is described, which can yield a torque about a single sensitive axis when pressure is applied.
Abstract
Disclosed is an absolute pressure transducer including a mechanical assembly comprising an open bellows, a suspension system, and a sealed bellows arranged to yield a torque about a single sensitive axis when pressure is applied to the open bellows and an electronic circuit comprising a detector for sensing angular motion and a torquing device to restore the mechanical assembly toward its null position. The amount of electrically generated torque necessary to balance the pressure induced torque is proportional to, and a measure of, the applied pressure.

Dual balanced capacitance manometers for suppressing vibration effects

TL;DR: In this article, the capacitance manometers are positioned about a common axis around a common pressure chamber that receives the unknown pressure so that the flexible diaphragms of each of the manometers simultaneously deform either outwardly or inwardly from the common pressure chambers in response to changes in pressure.

Capacitance manometer having a relatively thick flush diaphragm under tension to provide low hysteresis

TL;DR: A capacitance diaphragm gauge (100) for measuring pressure is used in this article, as well as flush diaphrasm (120) mounted to a body structure via a shim (122) or other raised perimeter portion.
