    Abstract: A fitting for positioning a probe in a hot gas path within a casing of a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The fitting may include a main body attachable to the casing opposite the hot gas path. The main body may include an internal bore and one or more cooling holes in communication with the internal bore. A compliant seal may be positionable within the internal bore. In addition, a follower may be positionable within the internal bore adjacent to the compliant seal. Moreover, the fitting may include a fastener configured to mate with the main body. In this manner, the follower may deform the compliant seal about the probe within the main body to secure and seal the probe within the main body.

    Abstract: An analytical instrument suitable for a use in a variety of industrial environments features a housing having a sealed primary chamber filled with a dry, inert gas at a first static pressure. An instrumentation system is disposed within the primary chamber, where fire hazard is eliminated by the inert gas. The housing additionally includes a reference chamber holding a gas a second pressure lower than the first pressure. One or more pressure switches, in pressure-sensing relationship with both chambers, is operative to interrupt the application of power to the instrumentation system if the differential between first and second pressures falls below a predetermined value. In this manner, the instrumentation system is rendered safe whenever the primary chamber is breached or otherwise loses inert gas pressure.

    Abstract: Sensors, such as optical sensors and other sensors used in an aqueous environment are protected from biological contamination by applying a biocide behind a shutter. The shutter is capable of covering a subject portion of the sensor or surrounding mounting surface adjacent the sensor in at least a semi-sealing manner. A well or reservoir forms a chamber in the shutter that is capable of holding a biocide having a limited water solubility and a low environmental toxicity in the aqueous environment, for example, anhydrous iodine crystals. The reservoir is in communication with the portion of the sensor while positioned against the portion of the sensor or surrounding mounting surface adjacent the sensor.
