Abstract: A flame photometric detector for a process gas chromatograph is provided. The flame photometric detector includes a combustion chamber body defining a combustion chamber therein. A sample inlet tube is configured to introduce a process gas sample into the combustion chamber. An ignitor is configured to initiate combustion within the combustion chamber. A thermocouple assembly is configured to provide an indication of temperature within the combustion chamber. The sample tube has an end that is adjustable relative to the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A heating assembly includes a base plate. The heating assembly also includes a heating component coupled to the base plate configured to heat an enclosure of the heating assembly and a fan assembly coupled to the base plate configured to circulate the heated air within the enclosure of the heating assembly.

Abstract: A heating assembly includes a heater extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. Heat transfer fins are thermally coupled to the heater and extend in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. An airflow component is positioned proximate one of the first and second end and is configured to generate airflow along the plurality of heat transfer fins toward the other of the first and second end.

Abstract: A process analytic device includes an input to receive a sample of interest and an analytic detector operably coupled to receive the sample of interest. An analytic output is provided relative to the sample of interest. A plurality of heat pipes is thermally coupled to the analytic detector.

Abstract: A lock assembly including a plurality of dogs, each dog having a load bearing surface and a first interconnection feature. An extender body is operatively arranged for radially transitioning the plurality of dogs between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. The load bearing surface of each dog is operatively arranged in the extended configuration for engaging against a shoulder of a radially adjacent structure for supporting the lock assembly. A mandrel is included having a second interconnection feature operatively arranged to dimensionally overlap the first interconnection feature of the dogs when transitioned to the extended configuration for enabling the mandrel to be supported by the dogs. A method of locking radially adjacent components is also included.

Abstract: A lock assembly including a plurality of dogs, each dog being circumferentially adjacent to at least one other dog in the plurality and each dog including a load bearing surface. An extender body is operatively arranged to transition the plurality of dogs between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. The load bearing surface of each dog is operatively arranged in the extended configuration for engaging against a shoulder of a radially adjacent structure for supporting the lock assembly. The load bearing surfaces of the dogs together form a substantially circumferentially continuous shape when arranged in one of the retracted or extended configurations. And method of locking radially adjacent components.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a valve. The valve includes a first member having a first port therethrough, a second member in operable communication with the first member having a sealing surface thereon and a second port therethrough that is movable relative to the first member. The valve also has a seal sealingly engaged with the first member and slidably sealingly engagable with the second member, and a support member movably disposed relative to the first member and the second member. The support member has a support surface dimensioned similarly to the sealing surface, and is movable with the second member relative to the first member so that upon such movement the seal is continuously supported by at least one of the sealing surface and the support surface.
