Head for coplanar meter body transmitter
First Claim
1. A manifold for mounting a transmitter to a pipeline, said pipeline having fluid flowing therein, said pipeline further having a first and second process pipe to couple said fluid to said transmitter, said manifold comprising:
- a) a body of rectangular-like shape having a height, length and width having a first surface formed by the plane of the width and length and having a second surface at right angles to said first surface formed by the plane of the length and height, and further wherein the second surface includes a first and second input port, and the first surface includes corresponding first and second output ports, the body including a first and second channel internal to the body such that fluid from the first process pipe is conducted from the first input port to the first output port and fluid from the second process pipe is conducted from the second input port to the second output port, the body further including an internal crossover channel between the first channel and the second channel, the body further including a third channel having an input port and an output port, the third channel being internal to the body, for permitting steam to flow in said third channel thereby providing heat to the manifold;
b) a first and second valve, the first valve controlling the flow of fluid in the first channel and the second valve controlling the flow of fluid in the second channel, the first and second valve being placed between the internal crossover channel and the first and second output port, respectively; and
c) a third valve located in the internal crossover channel between the first and the second channels for controlling the flow of fluid in the internal crossover channel.

Abstract
A manifold which mounts a transmitter to a pipeline comprises a body of rectangular-like shape. The body has a first surface and a second surface at right angles to the first surface. The second surface of the body includes a first and second input port, and the first surface of the body includes corresponding first and second output ports. The body also includes a first and second channel internal to the body such that fluid is conducted between the first input port and the first output port, and fluid is conducted between the second input port and the second output port. The body further includes an internal crossover channel between the first channel and the second channel. A third channel is provided internal to the body for permitting steam to flow therein, thereby providing heat to the manifold. A first and second valve is included for controlling the conducting of fluid in the first channel and the second channel, respectively. A third valve is included which controls the flow of fluid in the internal crossover channel.
