  • Flameproof electrical feed-through
    Patent number: 9534939
    Abstract: A flameproof feed-through (200) includes a feed-through element (210) comprising a substantially planar shape, a first interface region (211), and a second interface region (212), wherein one or more conductors (217) extend between the first interface region (211) and the second interface region (212). The flameproof feed-through (200) further includes one or more body portions (220) assembled to the feed-through element (210), with the one or more body portions (220) holding the feed-through element (210) in position with respect to the aperture. The first interface region (211) of the feed-through element (210) extends at least partially to a first side (201) of the flameproof feed-through (200) and wherein the second interface region (212) of the feed-through element (210) extends at least partially to a second side (202) of the flameproof feed-through (200).

  • BRACE BAR WITH TABBED APERTURES FOR BRAZING TO A FLOW TUBE
    Publication number: 20110183152
    Abstract: A brace bar (200) is provided. The brace bar (200) includes a brace bar plate (206). At least one aperture (201) is formed in the brace bar plate (206). The brace bar (200) also includes at least one tab (202) located proximate the at least one aperture (201) and extending from the brace bar plate (206). The brace bar (200) can be brazed to a flow tube (205). The at least one tab (202) allows the brazing coupling material to wick into the joint (210) created between the at least one tab (202) and the flow tube (205).
