  • Patent number: 10048136
    Abstract: Advantageous mounting flanges for measuring devices and related methods of use are provided. The present disclosure provides advantageous mounting flanges configured to be mounted to measuring devices/instruments (e.g., pressure or temperature measuring devices/instruments), and related methods of use. More particularly, the present disclosure provides advantageous systems/methods for the design and use of user-friendly press-on mounting flanges configured to be mounted to pressure and temperature instruments (e.g., to the case of pressure or temperature gauges) to allow the instruments to be secured to a supporting structure (e.g., to a panel) via the mounting flanges. Disclosed herein is an advantageous mounting flange configured to be mounted to a case of a measuring device/gauge, thereby allowing the measuring device/gauge to be mounted to and held in a panel via the mounting flange. As such, the gauge case mounting flange is configured to hold the measuring gauge in place in the panel.

  • Patent number: 7832617
    Abstract: A method of welding an adapter fitting to a fitting on a measuring device system. The present disclosure also provides for a measuring device system having a first fitting that includes a stem, a second fitting that defines an opening sized to receive the first fitting, where the second fitting also defines an abutment face, wherein the second fitting is positioned around the first fitting with the abutment face abutting an outward end of the first fitting, and where at least one weld secures the first fitting to the second fitting.
