Pressure transducer

摘要

The hammer union pressure transducer engages with a cinch nut of a hammer union coupling to cinch a nose end toward an internal sealing surface of a male component of the hammer union coupling. The transducer includes a connection end removably threaded to the nose end. An anti-rotation device engages the connection end and the nose end, inhibiting inadvertent unthreading. The anti-rotation device is removable or shearable, allowing unthreading of the connection end from the nose end as desired. A recess may be formed on the external sealing surface of the nose end and an insert may be disposed in the recess. The insert, if used, may be formed of a material that is different from a material of the nose end. An upgrade kit may also be employed and includes an adapter plate to connect to the nose end.

主权项

1. A hammer union pressure transducer, comprising:
a housing comprising:
a nose end having a surface adapted to engage an internal sealing surface of a male component of a hammer union coupling,a separate connection end removably threaded to the nose end along a mounting thread axis,a shoulder formed on the housing, the shoulder adapted to be engaged by a cinch nut of the hammer union coupling to cinch the housing toward the male component such that the sealing surface of the nose end sealingly engages the internal sealing surface of the male component, andan anti-rotation device engaging the connection end and the nose end to inhibit inadvertent unthreading of the connection end from the nose end, wherein the anti-rotation device is constructed and is arranged in the housing to be at least one of removable and shearable thereby allowing unthreading of the connection end from the nose end; anda pressure sensor disposed in the nose end.
