Extractor tool for an ultrasonic flow meter

1. A system comprising:

a bracket operable to connect with a spoolpiece of an ultrasonic flow meter and to disconnect from the spoolpiece, the bracket having a frame, a pair of arms extending from the frame, each arm having a pad coupled thereto, and an adjustable hinge coupled between the arms;

a conduit extending through the bracket and pivotable relative to the bracket;

an inner cylinder supported within the conduit, the inner cylinder having a throughbore extending between a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is adapted to sealingly engage the spoolpiece and the second end is adapted for coupling to a closeable valve, wherein the throughbore is isolated when the second end is coupled to the valve and the valve is closed.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inner cylinder further comprises:

an annular groove proximate the first end; and

a sealing element disposed within the groove.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inner cylinder further comprises:

an annular groove proximate the second end, the annular groove adapted to receive a tool comprising the valve.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the throughbore of the inner cylinder is configured to receive a tool for selectively installing a transducer within the spoolpiece and removing the transducer.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hinge is actuatable to spread the arms to engage the spoolpiece and to contract the arms to disengage the spoolpiece.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the hinge further comprises:

a screw extending through an end of each arm, the screw rotatable in a first direction to spread the arms and rotatable in a second direction opposite the first to contract the arms.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising two pins, each pin extending between the bracket and the conduit, wherein the conduit is pivotable about the pins relative to the bracket.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the inner cylinder threadably engages the conduit.
