A pressure transmitter for measuring a pressure of a process fluid
includes a pressure sensor, a hydraulic relay system and a pressure
sensor fill fluid. The pressure sensor senses the pressure of the process
fluid, and the hydraulic relay system provides a communication channel
between the process fluid and the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor
fill fluid in the hydraulic relay system comprises a first hydraulic
fluid and a first volume of nano-particles. The first hydraulic fluid
transmits a change in the pressure of the process fluid to the sensor.
The first volume of nano-particles is suspended within the first
hydraulic fluid and alters properties of the pressure sensor fill fluid.
