Patent ID: 7398695

Claim:
A method for mating a pre-exiting base unit with a transmitter unit where the base unit has a plurality of mounting elements and flow bores arranged according to a first pattern and the transmitter unit has a plurality of mounting elements and flow bores arranged according to a second pattern that is different from the first pattern, the method comprising, comprising: (a) forming a plurality of mounting bores in a plate that correspond to the pattern of the mounting elements of the base unit and the transmitter unit; (b) forming a plurality of fluid conduits through the plate, each fluid conduit hydraulically coupling each flow bore of the base unit to an associated flow bore of the transmitter unit, each fluid conduit having a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of flow bores of the base unit and the transmitter unit, each fluid conduit having a long axis that is offset from a long axis of each flow bore of the base unit and the transmitter unit; and (c) interposing the plate between the base unit and the transmitter unit.
