1. A high pressure transducer for ballistic application having an externally threaded portion and operable to be threadably secured directly in a mounting aperture having an internally threaded portion and provided in a ballistic structural component, comprising a body member provided with said externally threaded portion, a sensor part connected with the body member and having a membrane portion, a sealing portion and a housing portion, said membrane portion serving to actuate a sensor element located within the housing portion of the sensor part, means adapted to form a shoulder seal between mutually abutting surfaces of the sealing portion and the mounting aperture, said seal being located ahead of the threaded portions, and further means in the transducer operable to substantially keep away from the membrane portion and housing portion, the force flux lines stemming from the tightening and sealing forces which are produced when sealing the transducer relative to the structural component, said further means being formed at least in part by displacement of the housing portion and the membrane portion with respect to the sealing portion so that said force flux lines are substantially kept away from the housing and membrane portions.
