TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

A transducer assembly includes a cap readily removable from a housing and enclosing a pressure transducer and a main valve body. Seals are located inside the housing which often are elastomeric or otherwise heat damageable. A top cartridge together with all of the seals inside the housing is readily disconnectable from the housing to separate the seals from the transducer assembly first end. This first end may then be heat sealed by soldering, brazing, or welding to a manifold or the like without any heat damage to the various seals. The transducer assembly then may be readily reassembled to form an operative transducer assembly.
