Abstract

Apparatus and methods for operating a dual chamber orifice fitting. The dual chamber orifice fitting comprises a body having a lower chamber and a top having an upper chamber. An aperture connects the upper chamber to the lower chamber. A closure member is pivotally mounted to the fitting and pivots about a first axis between a first position and a second position. A pivot arm is rotatably mounted to the body and engages the closure member so that rotation of the pivot arm about a second axis pivots said closure member about the first axis between the first and second positions.

Claims (23)

1. A dual chamber orifice fitting comprising:
a body having a lower chamber disposed therein;
a top having an upper chamber disposed therein;
an aperture connecting the upper chamber to the lower chamber;
a closure member pivotally mounted within the fitting, wherein said closure member pivots about a first axis between a first position and a second position; and a pivot arm rotatably mounted to said body and engaged with said closure member such that rotation of said pivot arm about a second axis pivots said closure member about the first axis between the first and second positions.
2. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 1 further comprising an operational shaft coupled to said pivot arm and extending through a side of said body.
3. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 2 wherein a sliding member disposed on said operational shaft are engaged with a slot disposed on said pivot arm.
4. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 1 further comprising a biasing member disposed within said body and operable to urge said closure member into sealing engagement with said top when said closure member is in the second position.
5. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 1 further comprising:
an orifice plate carrier disposed within a flow conduit through said body;
a first alignment feature that controls the location of said orifice plate carrier relative to the flow conduit in a first direction; and a second alignment feature that controls the location of said orifice plate carrier relative to the flow conduit in a second direction.
6. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 5 wherein the first alignment feature is disposed on a biasing member that disposed within said body and operable to urge said closure member into sealing engagement across said aperture when said closure member is in the second position.
7. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 5 wherein the second alignment feature is disposed on said pivot arm.
8. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 1 wherein said pivot arm further comprises:
a center portion;
a first end extending from said center portion and having a first pin connected thereto; and a second end extending said center portion and having a second pin connected thereto.
9. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 8 wherein the first pin is disposed within a first slot on said closure member and the second pin in disposed within a second slot on said closure member.
10. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 9 wherein, as said pivot arm pivots about the second axis, the first pin engages the first slot so as to pivot said closure member about the first axis between the first and second positions.
11. The dual chamber orifice fitting of claim 10 wherein, as said pivot arm pivots about the second axis, the first pin engages the first slot before the second pin engages the second slot.
12. An isolation valve assembly comprising:
an operational shaft rotatably coupled to a fitting, wherein said operational shaft rotates about a first axis;
a pivot arm rotatably coupled to said operational shaft; and a closure member coupled to said pivot arm and pivotally mounted to the fitting, wherein rotation of said operational shaft about the first axis pivots said closure member about a second axis.
13. The isolation valve assembly of claim 12 further comprising:
a slot disposed on said pivot arm; and a sliding member disposed on said operational shaft and engaged with said slot.
14. The isolation valve assembly of claim 12 further comprising:
a first slot disposed on a first side of said closure member;
a second slot disposed on an opposite side of said closure member;
a first pin disposed on a first end of said pivot arm; and a second pin disposed on a second end of said pivot arm.
15. The isolation valve assembly of claim 14 wherein the first pin is disposed within the first slot the second pin in disposed within the second slot such that as said pivot arm pivots about the first axis, the first pin engages the first slot so as to pivot said closure member about the second axis.
16. The isolation valve assembly of claim 15 wherein, as said pivot ann pivots about the first axis, the first pin engages the first slot before the second pin engages the second slot.
17. The isolation valve assembly of claim 12 further comprising a biasing member disposed within said body and operable to move said pivot arm relative to said operational shafts in a direction perpendicular to the first axis when said closure member is in a closed position.
18. The isolation valve assembly of claim 12 further comprising:
a first alignment feature that controls the location of an orifice plate carrier within the body along a first direction; and a second alignment feature that controls the location of the orifice plate carrier in a second direction.
19. The isolation valve assembly of claim 18 wherein the first alignment feature is disposed on a biasing member that disposed within said body and operable to move said pivot arm relative to said operational shafts in a direction perpendicular to the first axis when said closure member is in a closed position.
20. The isolation valve assembly of claim 18 wherein the second alignment feature is disposed on said pivot arm.
21. A method comprising:
installing an operational shaft into a body of a dual chamber orifice fitting;
installing a pivot arm into the body and rotatably coupled to the operational shaft, wherein the pivot arm is rotatable about a first axis; and installing a closure member into the body and coupled to the pivot arm, wherein the closure member is pivotable about a second axis between a first position and a second position.
22. The method of claim 21 further comprising connecting a top to the dual chamber orifice fitting, wherein the top comprises an aperture that provides communication between an upper chamber disposed within the top and a lower chamber disposed within the body, wherein communication through the aperture is prevented when the closure member is in the first position and communication through the aperture is allowed when the closure member is in the second position
23. The method of claim 22 further comprising:
rotating the operational shaft so that the pivot arm rotates about the first axis and the closure member rotates about the second axis and moves from the first position to the second position;
moving an orifice plate carrier through the aperture; and rotating the operational shaft so that the pivot arm rotates about the first axis and the closure member rotates about the second axis and moves from the second position to the first position.
