Abstract
A method of assembling multiple port assemblies in a cavitation chamber is provided. The method is comprised of boring at least two ports of different sizes in a cavitation chamber wall of the cavitation chamber. The external port diameter of the smaller port is smaller than that port's internal port diameter. A member selected from the group consisting of windows, plugs, feed-throughs, sensors, transducers and couplers is inserted into the chamber through the larger port and positioned within the smaller port. The member can be secured within the smaller port with an adhesive. A mounting ring/retaining ring, retaining coupler or port cover seals the second, larger port. A second member selected from the group consisting of windows, plugs, feed-throughs, sensors, transducers and couplers can be positioned within a cone-shaped port within the mounting ring or retaining coupler. A feed-thru, sensor, transducer or coupler can be integrated into the port cover. To aid the assembly process, specialized tools can be used to position the member within the smaller port.
