Title: Aviation expert required Post by: technolog on January 03, 2008, 02:35:34 PM At work a customer is after a replacement for a differential pressure transmitter. I know nothing about it other than it is called an 'AUTOPILOT COMPONENT CONTROL-DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE', is made by a company called Lear Inc and is 1970's technology. It's used in a non-aeronautical application but the words autopilot and Lear make me think it's aeronautical in origin.
I have a picture of it which I will post when I get home (unless someone can tell me how to make a picture on my work PC hard disk appear inline in the post without uploading to a site like Mediafire first - which I don't have access to while at work). I was hoping somebody would be able to identify it (or know someone who could) and point me in the right direction for some specifications or other info.

I've heard of them, (DPTs), and always in a safety related use. I believe they are diaphram (sp) based and are fairly simple yes/no condition monitoring bits of kit. As far as the autopilot application is concerned I don't know but obv application would be to monitor hydraulic fluids state whilst in autopilot, (eg to disallow control surface commands that fall outside prescibed tolerances). I'll fanny around on google when I get back from the Title: Re: Aviation expert required Post by: technolog on January 04, 2008, 12:08:26 AM Is your client in oil & gas?
