Abstract:
An assembly for aligning and supporting an adapter flange (15) for connecting fluid pressures to a pressure sensor body (11) in place on the body (11) and to keep the flange (15) in an unsealed condition to prevent pressurizing the body and flange until installation of permanent fasteners. The support fasteners (30) retain the flange (15) spaced from the body (11) sufficiently so that the flange (15) will not seal. This will prevent accidentally pressurizing the flange (15) and pressure sensor body (11) until permanent fasteners have been installed. The body (11) and flange (15) are shipped with at least one extra set of permanent fasteners (46, 50) different in length from the fasteners (23) used on the flange (15) to permit adding adapters (47) for a process connection. When a different thickness adapter (47) is used for process connection, only the correct length fasteners will be capable of being threaded into the threaded openings and also seal the flange or adapter.
Abstract:
An in-line pressure transmitter for sensing an absolute or gage process pressure of a process fluid includes an in-line process coupling. The coupling has a mounting member which includes a substantially flat mounting face and a bore generally aligned with an isolation diaphragm assembly. The member is configured to mount to a flat process coupling.

Abstract:
A cable protector (40) comprises a cylindrical reel sleeve (41) having an opening (44) in a side wall (43), and an open bottom end. A cable (35,) with first and second connectors, is helically wound around an axis (46) of the reel sleeve, the second connector (36) extends out through the bottom of the reel sleeve and is attached to a second circuit (20) board within a second housing (11). The first connector (37) is retained in the interior of the sleeve, to allow for the threading attachment of the second housing to a first housing (12) without damaging the cable. After attachment of the two housings, the first connector is passed out through the opening in the side wall and connected to a first circuit board (23) within the first housing. The helical winding of the cable permits the two housing to be repositioned rotationally after connection without causing cable twisting.
