Patent number: 11796071Abstract: There is provided a filter for a diaphragm valve. The filter attaches to a diaphragm of the valve and filters fluid entering a control chamber in the valve. The filter includes internal structure that increases the path from where fluid enters the filter through a mesh of holes to a single exit flow path leading to the control chamber. This increased path reduces the potential for debris in the flow to clog the exit flow path from the filter.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Peter M. Niess, Michael A. McAfee, Gokhan Aydar, Sarath Chandran

Patent number: 9389106Abstract: A remote seal assembly for subsea applications is provided. The assembly includes an upper housing having a fluid coupling for coupling the remote seal to a process fluid pressure measurement device. A lower housing is coupled to the upper housing and has an interface that is configured to mount to a pressure vessel. The lower housing also has a process fluid inlet. An isolation diaphragm is disposed between the upper and lower housings. At least one of the upper housing, lower housing and isolation diaphragm are constructed from a material suitable for immersion in saltwater. In some embodiments, the lower housing has a shoulder disposed about the process fluid inlet and a plurality of self-energizing seals configured to couple the assembly to a venturi flow meter body. A subsea process fluid flow measurement system is also provided that includes a pressure transmitter and at least one subsea remote seal assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Rosemount Inc.Inventors: Ivar Breen, Brent W. Miller, Jay Scheldorf, Gokhan Aydar, David Broden

Patent number: 9109937Abstract: An apparatus is provided for measuring level of a process fluid in a container opening. The apparatus includes a remote seal configured to be inserted into the container through an opening and configured to receive a pressure related to the level of process fluid in the container. A capillary tube filled with a fill fluid extends from the remote seal to the opening and is configured to convey the pressure therebetween. A pressure sensor coupled to the capillary tube senses the pressure from the capillary tube and responsively determines the level of the process fluid in the container. The remote seal includes a bellows portion arranged to isolate the process fluid from the fill fluid in the capillary tube and convey the pressure therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Rosemount Inc.Inventors: Jay Scheldorf, Gokhan Aydar, Blake Becker, Derek Poehlmann, Bruce Muske
