Housing

A manifold () with reduced vortex shedding, a vibrator) meter () including the same, and a method of manufacturing both are described. The manifold () comprises a first conduit section (), a second conduit section (), a splitter section () positioned between the first conduit section () and the second conduit section (), the splitter section () including a first splitter face () facing the first conduit section (), and a first protrusion (), at least a portion of which is positioned on the first splitter face ().

Manifold

A brace bar (') configured to be removably attachable to vibratory conduits () of a flowmeter () is provided. The attachment comprises a mechanical attachment, wherein the brace bar (&#x2032;) is movable about the vibratory conduits (). A component (&#x2032;) of the flowmeter () sensor assembly () that is removably attachable to vibratory conduits () is also provided. The attachment comprises a mechanical attachment, comprising: a coil portion () and a magnet portion (), wherein the component (&#x2032;) is movable about the vibratory conduits (). The brace bar is repositionable, such that heat stress is minimized, while repair and tuning of the sensor assembly is simplified.

Repositionalble brace bar for vibratory flow meter conduits

A flowmeter () is provided. The flowmeter () has a wetted assembly () comprising one or more conduits ('), and at least one driver magnet (&#x2032;) attached to the one or more conduits (&#x2032;). A dry assembly () houses a driver coil (), and meter electronics () are in electrical communication with the driver coil (). A case () at least partially covers the wetted assembly () and the dry assembly (). The dry assembly () is removably attachable to the wetted assembly (). The driver coil () is in magnetic communication with the at least one driver magnet (&#x2032;) when the dry assembly () is attached to the wetted assembly (), and the driver coil () is configured to provide a vibratory signal to the at least one driver magnet (&#x2032;) when the dry assembly () is attached to the wetted assembly ().

Flowmeter sensor with interchangeable flow path and related method

A method for creating an asymmetric flowmeter manifold (') is provided. The method comprises the steps of defining at least one flowmeter () application parameter. The method also comprises determining an area for at least a first flow path () and a second flow path (&#x2032;), and forming the asymmetric manifold with the determined flow path areas.

Asymmetric flowmeter and related method

A flowmeter having one or more conduits (') and a driver () coupled to one or more conduits (&#x2032;) being configured to vibrate at least a portion of the conduit at one or more drive frequencies. One or more pickoffs (&#x2032;) are coupled to the one or more conduits (&#x2032;) and are configured to detect a motion of the conduit. A housing () has a first compartment () and a second compartment (). The first compartment () is fluid-tight and encloses at least a portion of the one or more conduits (&#x2032;), the driver (), and the one or more pickoffs (&#x2032;). A sealable fill port () is configured to allow the addition of a ballast material to the second compartment ().

Flowmeter housing and related methods

A magnet assembly () is provided that comprises a magnet keeper () configured to hold at least one magnet (). The bracket () is configured to receive the magnet keeper () and also configured to be attachable to a flowmeter () sensor assembly (). A first surface () is formed on the magnet keeper (), and a second surface () is formed on the bracket (), wherein the first and second surfaces () are configured to mate so to provide a radial alignment of the magnet keeper () that is within a predefined radial tolerance range.
