A pressure sensing chamber having a canted tubing extension with a reduced diameter portion extending through the chamber. The tubing contains a plurality of ports so as to allow the purging of air from the chamber, but the ports are sized so that bubbles entering the tubing cannot easily flow into the chamber. The reduced diameter portion creates a pressure differential between the holes. This differential pressure creates flow through the chamber under high liquid flow and turbulent liquid flow events. Una camara de deteccion de presion que tiene una extension de tuberia con una porcion de diametro reducido que se extiende a traves de la camara. La tuberia contiene una pluralidad de lumbreras para permitir la purga de aire desde la camara, pero las lumbreras se dimensionan de tal forma que las burbujas que entran a la tuberia no puedan fluir facilmente hacia la camara. La porcion de diametro reducido crea una diferencial de presion entre los orificios. Esta presion diferencial crea flujo a traves de la camara bajo flujo elevado de liquido y eventos turbulentos de flujo de liquido.
