  • Patent number: 11940295
    Abstract: A universal mounting system for insulated instruments includes a mounting plate which engages openings in mating parts of a self-supporting insulated enclosure. The plate supports the instrument and the enclosure independently and allows all connections to the interior of the enclosure to be made through the plate. The plate is bent to an L-shape, with one leg supported by a support structure and the other leg supporting the instrument and enclosure. A termination of a traced tubing system is housed in an enclosure mounted to an opposite side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a collar, cutouts in mating sections of the enclosure fitting over the collar to mount the enclosure to the mounting plate. Illustratively, the mounting plate includes a mount plate portion connected to a supporting structure, and an instrument plate mounted to the instrument.

  • Patent number: 11137089
    Abstract: Tubing bundle supports comprise body parts clamped around split rotatable sleeves. In one embodiment, spring mounted peripheral shoes and rotatable tubing bundle support sleeves allow metal tubes and tubing bundles to be routed inside a conduit in spaced apart positions and resistant to vibration. In another embodiment, split pillow block sections are clamped around a split rotatable sleeve. In an embodiment, the split pillow block support is held to a strut channel by a strut channel nut.

  • Patent number: 10908043
    Abstract: A method and structure which provide an ambient pressure measurement that is unaffected by wind and localized environmental conditions. A draft range pressure transmitter is enclosed inside an enclosure which is resistant to wind and other transient localize environmental conditions. A vent cap allows slow air movement through a wall of the enclosure and forms a still air chamber for the transmitter. The pressure inside the enclosure changes at the same rate as the barometric pressure but is unaffected by wind or wind gusts.
