Transducer with limits of 500 C and 10 kilobars responds to mechanical vibrations up to 20 kHz. Vibration pickup performs well in nuclear reactors, turbines, and other extreme environments. Low pressure problems of outgassing and "virtual" leakage experienced with conventional transducers potted in epoxy are eliminated with use of glass and metal supports. Interior opens to atmosphere, preventing buildup of pressure-induced stresses. Spring holds transducer against housing, reducing strain distortion.
