First Claim
Patent Images
1. A manifold for use with a pressure sensing transmitter for measuring pressure of a process fluid, the manifold comprising:
- a manifold body including a first side member having an inlet surface and a cross member having an outlet surface, the outlet surface of the cross member adapted to directly mount to the pressure sensing transmitter, the first side member and cross member disposed at substantially a 90°
angle relative to each other;
first and second inlets on the first side member adapted for coupling to the process fluid;
first and second outlets on the outlet surface adapted for directly coupling to the pressure sensing transmitter;
passageways in the manifold body extending between and connecting the inlets and outlets; and
wherein the plane of the inlet surface is not parallel with the plane of the outlet surface.

Abstract
A manifold includes a body having generally planar inlet surface. The inlet surface includes a first inlet and a second inlet adapted for coupling to a pressurized process fluid. An outlet surface on the manifold is adapted for coupling to a co-planar transmitter and is at angle relative to the inlet surface. The manifold includes an equalizing valve surface opposite the outlet surface, and a perimeter therebetween. The outlet surface includes first and second outlets in fluid communication with the first and second inlets, respectively.

25. An H-manifold for use with a pressure sensing transmitter for measuring pressure of a process fluid, the H-manifold comprising:
-
an inlet face on an inlet portion having a first inlet for coupling to a first pressure source and a second inlet for coupling to a second pressure source; a cross portion coupled to the inlet face having a mounting face for directly mounting the pressure sensing transmitter, the mounting surface substantially perpendicular to the inlet face, the mounting face including a first pressure outlet and a second pressure outlet; an opposing face on an opposing portion coupled to the cross portion, opposite the inlet face, wherein the inlet face, cross portion and opposing face form an "H" configuration; a first passageway extending between the first inlet and the first outlet; and a second passageway extending between the second inlet and the second outlet. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
