Abstract: A method for attenuating resonance frequency responses includes encasing at least one conducting element within a protective sheath and disposing a damping element about the at least one conducting element. The damping element is fixedly secured to the at least one conducting element for inhibiting relative movement between the damping element and the conduit. The method also includes positioning the at least one conducting element concentrically within a conduit to define a gap between the at least one conducting element and the conduit.

Abstract: A method of mounting an instrument probe using an adapter post is provided. The method includes coupling an attachment end of the adapter post to a first wall defined between a cavity and an annulus, coupling an opposite sealing end of the adapter post to a second wall defined between the annulus and the ambient area, sealing the adapter post to compensate for a relative movement between the first wall and the second wall such that the sealing is maintained, and inserting the instrument probe at least partially within the adapter post to monitor a process parameter within the cavity.
