Abstract: A self-draining transmitter mount head includes a head body with a transmitter process coupling port in the head body, an impulse port in the head body, and an impulse passage coupled to the impulse port. An impulse drain passage is coupled between the pressure transmitter port and the impulse passage. The impulse drain passage is positioned at an angle to the impulse passage, and relative to a head installation angle that positions the impulse drain passage to drain away from the transmitter process coupling port through a range of head installation angles.

Abstract: A pressure transmitter coupling for coupling a pressure transmitter to a process fluid includes a process coupling face having a process coupling port configured to couple to impulse piping. A pressure transmitter coupling face is arranged at an angle to the process coupling face, the pressure transmitter coupling face including a pressure transmitter coupling port configured to fluidically couple to the pressure transmitter. A process fluid passageway extends between the process coupling port and the pressure transmitter coupling port. A rod out port is aligned with the process fluid coupling port and configured to receive a cleaning rod therethrough to clean the process coupling port.

Abstract: An alignment device for a wafer in an industrial process assembly includes an inner surface shaped to conform to an outer surface of a wafer, an outer surface comprising at least two cams; and two ends connecting the inner surface to the outer surface. The two ends are positioned such that when the alignment device is positioned on the outer surface of the wafer, the alignment device extends more than one hundred eighty degrees around the wafer.

Abstract: A differential pressure fluid flow meter element for insertion between the connecting flanges of conduit sections of a fluid carrying conduit includes a flat orifice plate having a fluid contacting region for positioning in a flow of fluid through the conduit and a handle extending outward from an outer portion of the fluid contacting region. The flat orifice plate includes at least one pressure port formed in the fluid contacting region of the plate, and at least one impulse line channel formed in the flat orifice plate and extending from one of the at least one pressure port through the handle to a corresponding transmitter interface port. A plurality of apertures formed in the handle and disposed and arranged relative to the at least one transmitter interface port allow mounting of the process variable transmitter directly to the paddle style orifice plate handle, with the transmitter substantially perpendicular to a plane of the handle.

Abstract: A customizable duct mount averaging pitot tube (APT) assembly for use with a duct to measure a flow of fluid in the duct is provided. The APT assembly includes an APT primary element extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The APT primary element has first and second internal chambers extending longitudinally between the first and second ends. The APT primary element further includes an upstream face with an upstream opening which opens to the first internal chamber and extends from the first end to the second end, and a downstream face with a downstream opening which opens to the second internal chamber and extends from the first end to the second end. First and second duct mount flanges mount the respective first and second ends of the APT primary element to the duct when the APT primary element is inserted in the duct.

Abstract: A pressure measurement system for measuring pressure in a conduit has a bluff body extending into the conduit. The bluff body has an upstream opening and a downstream opening. An upstream pitot tube is slidably engaged within the bluff body and has an open end positioned in the upstream opening. A downstream pitot tube is slidably engaged within the bluff body and has an open end positioned in the downstream opening. A differential pressure sensor is fluidly coupled to the upstream pitot tube and the downstream pitot tube to measure a pressure difference between the upstream pitot tube and the downstream pitot tube.
