Abstract:
A reversible adapter for selectively mounting a pressure-sensing transmitter to a manifold in either a liquid or a gas system, said adapter comprising a body having:a first end surface having a pair of vent ports disposed therein;a second end surface spaced from the first end surface and having a pair of vent ports disposed therein;a first planar surface extending between said first and second end surfaces and arranged for mounting said adapter to a manifold;a second planar surface spaced from said first planar surface and extending between said first and second end surfaces and arranged for mounting a pressure-sensing transmitter thereto;said adapter having a first set of apertures extending from the second planar surface to the first planar surface at a position proximate said first end surface, and a second set of apertures extending from the second planar surface to the first planar surface at a position proximate said second end surface; anda pair of spaced apart internal passageways disposed in mutually parallel relationship, each passageway of said pair of passageways respectively extending between a separate one of said pair of vent ports disposed in said first end surface and a separate one of said vent ports disposed in said second end surface.
