Patent number: 11118983Abstract: In one aspect, a temperature sensing assembly for measuring temperature of a surface of a structure includes a thermocouple device and a docking device. The thermocouple device includes a temperature sensing junction point disposed within an elongate sheath to measure the temperature of the surface of the structure at a desired location. The thermocouple device further comprises a contact portion configured to contact the surface of the structure. The docking device has a bottom surface to attach to the surface of the structure adjacent the desired location. A line extends through the center of the sheath and the sheath has a cross-sectional area in a plane perpendicular to the line. The contact portion is configured such that, when the docking device is coupled to the surface, an area of contact between the contact portion and the surface of the structure is greater than the cross-sectional area of the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Daily Thermetrics Corp.Inventors: Carlos Alvarado, Raymond B. Litteaur, Larry Welch

Patent number: 9752937Abstract: A temperature sensing assembly for measuring the temperature of a surface of a structure includes a thermocouple device having a sheath containing a pair of conductors of dissimilar materials connected at a junction point to provide indications of temperature. The assembly further includes a docking device with a recess formed in a top surface to receive a portion of the sheath that is proximate the junction point. The bottom surface of the docking device is attached to the surface of the structure. The recess extends through the bottom surface of the docking device so that when the thermocouple device is positioned in the recess, the junction point is adjacent the surface of the tube. A heat shield can be attached to the docking device to shield the sheath proximate the junction point from direct and radiant heat sources.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Inventors: Jeffrey N. Daily, Larry Welch, Yean C Chan

Publication number: 20170144831Abstract: A system for managing fiber on-site at an oilfield. The system includes a packing region and a corresponding region which both interface a bulk of the fiber simultaneously. However, the packing region is of a moving character and the corresponding region is of a substantially different character which may or may not be static in nature. Regardless, the difference in character between the adjacent regions allows for a substantially continuous manner of packing fiber. This may be particularly beneficial where the fiber is of a crimped nature or otherwise comparatively light or of low density as may be the case for certain downhole fracturing or cementing applications utilizing the fiber at the oilfield.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Kim A. Hodgson, Hau Nguyen-Phuc Pham, Larry Welch
