Summary:The present invention relates to a remote diaphragm assembly for use in the process control industry to couple a process control instrument to a process. More particularly, the present invention relates to a remote diaphragm assembly whose components are easily assembled via a press-fit connection. A press-fit remote diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm member and a mounting portion which can be press-fit assembled by hand and without the use of tools. The diaphragm member includes a flexible diaphragm and a first press-fit member receiving portion. The mounting portion includes a second press-fit member receiving portion. The first and second press-fit member receiving portions align to form a press-fit member cavity which contains a press-fit member. The press-fit member engages the first and second press-fit member receiving portions to couple the diaphragm member to the mounting portion.
