Zusammenfassung:A system for non-intrusively measuring process fluid pressure within a process fluid conduit (202) is provided. The system includes a measurement bracket (200) configured to couple to an external surface of the process fluid conduit (202). The measurement bracket generates a variable gap based on deformation of the process fluid conduit (202) in response to process fluid pressure therein. A gap measurement system (220, 260, 262) is coupled to the measurement bracket (200) and provides an electrical signal based on a measurement of the variable gap. A controller (216) is coupled to the gap measurement system (220, 260, 262) and is configured to calculate and provide a process fluid pressure output based on the electrical signal and information relative to the process fluid conduit (202).
