  • Self-draining mount head for transmitter
    Patent number: 10480981
    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.

  • Flow meter
    Patent number: 9459126
    Abstract: A flow meter includes a meter section formed from a single stock of material and having a first inner pipe portion, a second inner pipe portion and an orifice plate defined between the first inner pipe portion and the second inner pipe portion, wherein the orifice plate has an orifice with a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the first inner pipe portion. The flow meter further includes a first pipe connecting section connected to a first side of the meter section and having a pipe flange and a second pipe connection section connected to a second side of the meter section and having a second pipe flange.
