Pressure Gauge Construction
US Patent:
4161123, Jul 17, 1979
Filed:
Aug 25, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/936972
Inventors:
David M. Carpenter - Berea KY
Assignee:
Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01L 704
US Classification:
73741
Abstract:
The Bourdon tube socket of a pressure gauge is constructed of an extruded metal bar having a first as-extruded slot in which to secure the inlet fixed end of a Bourdon tube. The bar also includes a pair of second as-extruded parallel slots for receipt of case mounting, self-tapping screws and formed of spaced apart arcuate ears extending transversely along each side face thereof.
Pressure Gauge Overpressure Safety Release
US Patent:
6216541, Apr 17, 2001
Filed:
Dec 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/572183
Inventors:
David M. Carpenter - Berea KY
Assignee:
Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01L 704
US Classification:
73741
Abstract:
A pressure gauge in which the displacement tip of the Bourdon tube is sealed and secured to a bracket of an amplifier movement by a selected solder composition affording a failure response to an encountered overpressure at a pressure value lower than the burst pressure of the Bourdon tube. Overpressure causes a fracture in the solder to be incurred enabling release of the overpressure while a throttle plug situated in the inlet path to the Bourdon tube severely restricts continuing gas flow to the fracture site. As a consequence, released flow from the solder fracture will be at a pressure insufficient to potentially cause explosion of the gauge case/lens to occur.

5913447, Jun 22, 1999
Filed:
Sep 24, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/937046
Inventors:
David M. Carpenter - Berea KY
Assignee:
Dresser Industries, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
B65D 2554
US Classification:
220664
Abstract:
An instrument casing assembly and a method of forming the casing that includes a case for receiving a lens having an integral peripheral shoulder engageable with a sidewall of the case. The sidewall when crimped about the shoulder, providing a gasketless water-tight seal to protect the internal parts of the instrument assembly.
