Abstract:
1. A flow cell for a plurality of sensor assemblies to communicate with a flow meter for measuring characteristics of a fluid comprising: a sensor body; a sensor body bore extending through the sensor body; a first sensor body quadrant extending outwardly from the sensor body bore on a first side of the flow cell; a second sensor body quadrant extending outwardly from the sensor body bore on a second side of the flow cell, wherein the second side is opposite the first side and wherein the first sensor body quadrant and the second sensor body quadrant are aligned with each other and extend in a first plane that intersects the sensor body bore; a first plurality of sensor ports extending through the first sensor body quadrant in the first plane; a second plurality of sensor ports extending through the second sensor body quadrant in the first plane, wherein the first and the second plurality of sensor ports provide openings from the exterior of the flow cell to the sensor body bore in which sensor assemblies can be inserted; a first cable channel extending internally within the first sensor body quadrant at least from the first plurality of sensor ports to a first access port on the exterior of the flow cell; and a second cable channel extending internally within the second sensor body quadrant at least from the second plurality of sensor ports to a second access port on the exterior of the flow cell, wherein the first cable channel and the second cable channel provide openings from the sensor ports in which the cables are routed internally within the flow cell to communicate with the flow meter.
