Abstract:
1. A universal mounting bracket for coplanar and bi-planar differential pressure (DP) transmitters, and gauge pressure transmitters, the bracket comprising: a support defining three mutually orthogonal planes; at least two sets of bracket mounts respectively disposed on first and second mutually orthogonal planes, the bracket mounts including U-clamps; at least two sets of coplanar DP transmitter mounts of a first size, respectively disposed on first and third mutually orthogonal planes, each set of coplanar DP transmitter mounts defining a first pattern; at least one set of bi-planar DP transmitter mounts disposed on the first plane, configured for mounting the bi-planar DP transmitter in any one of a plurality of mutually orthogonal orientations; each set of bi-planar DP transmitter mounts including at least four apertures of a second size, respectively disposed along each side of a notional square to define a second pattern; at least four process apertures of a third size, interspersed between the at least four apertures; at least two sets of gauge pressure transmitter mounts respectively disposed on the first and third mutually orthogonal planes, the gauge pressure transmitter mounts including U-clamps; and the support including a tubular frame and a plate coupled to the frame.
