Flow meter having electronic enclosure assembly

1. A flow meter comprising:

a meter body comprising a longitudinal axis, an outer surface, and a fluid passageway therethrough; and

a plurality of electronics housings supported on the meter body by an enclosure assembly, wherein the enclosure assembly comprises:

a base supported by the outer surface of the meter body;

a tubular member extending from the base, the tubular member having a passage extending therethrough for the passing of a transducer cable;

a bracket member coupled to the tubular member distal the base, the bracket member having a pair of longitudinally extending sides, a pair of laterally extending sides at longitudinal ends of the bracket member, and a conduit member extending between the longitudinally extending sides.

2. The flow meter of claim 1 , wherein the conduit member is centrally disposed relative the longitudinal ends of the bracket member and comprises an internal conduit chamber open to the passage of the tubular member.

3. The flow meter of claim 2 , wherein the bracket member comprises a pair of outer conduit chambers, wherein each outer conduit chamber is disposed between a longitudinal end of the bracket member and the conduit member.

4. The flow meter of claim 3 , wherein the conduit member comprises a pair of lateral sides, wherein each lateral side comprises an aperture extending between the internal conduit chamber and an outer conduit chamber.

5. The flow meter of claim 4 , further comprising a pair of upper mounting plates seated on an upper surface of the bracket member, wherein each upper mounting plate encloses an outer conduit chamber of the bracket member.

6. The flow meter of claim 5 , wherein each upper mounting plate comprises an aperture extending therethrough for the passage of a transducer cable.

7. The flow meter of claim 5 , wherein each mounting plate is configured to releasably couple with an electronics housing in signal communication with a transducer assembly of the flow meter.

8. The flow meter of claim 7 , wherein each upper mounting plate comprises a sealing groove to receive a gasket disposed between the upper mounting plate and a corresponding electronics housing.

9. The flow meter of claim 7 , further comprising a transducer cable having a first end coupled to the transducer assembly and a second end extending into the electronics housing, the transducer cable extending through the passage of the tubular member and into the internal conduit chamber, through an aperture of the conduit member into an outer conduit chamber, and into an electronics housing via the aperture in an upper mounting plate.

10. The flow meter of claim 1 , further comprising a groove extending longitudinally along the outer surface of the meter body, the groove extending underneath the base of the enclosure assembly.

11. A flow meter comprising:

a meter body comprising a longitudinal axis, an outer surface and a fluid passageway therethrough; and

a pair of electronics housings supported on the meter body by an enclosure assembly, wherein the enclosure assembly comprises:

a base supported by the outer surface of the meter body;

a tubular member extending from the base, the tubular member having a passage extending therethrough for the passing of a transducer cable;

a bracket member coupled to the tubular member distal the base; and

a pair of upper mounting plates seated on the bracket member, wherein each upper mounting plate is configured to releasably couple with an electronics housing.

12. The flow meter of claim 11 , wherein the bracket member comprises a pair of longitudinally extending sides, a pair of laterally extending sides at longitudinal ends of the bracket member, and a conduit member extending between the longitudinally extending sides.

13. The flow meter of claim 12 , wherein the conduit member is centrally disposed relative the longitudinal ends of the bracket member and comprises an internal conduit chamber open to the passage of the tubular member.

14. The flow meter of claim 13 , wherein the bracket member comprises a pair of outer conduit chambers, wherein each outer conduit chamber is disposed between a longitudinal end of the bracket member and the conduit member.

15. The flow meter of claim 14 , wherein the conduit member comprises a pair of lateral sides, wherein each lateral side comprises an aperture extending between the internal conduit chamber and an outer conduit chamber.

16. The flow meter of claim 14 , wherein each upper mounting plate encloses an outer conduit chamber of the bracket member.

17. The flow meter of claim 15 , wherein each upper mounting plate comprises an aperture extending therethrough for the passage of a transducer cable.

18. The flow meter of claim 11 , wherein each upper mounting plate comprises a sealing groove to receive a gasket disposed between the upper mounting plate and a corresponding electronics housing.

19. The flow meter of claim 17 , further comprising a transducer cable having a first end coupled to the transducer assembly and a second end extending into the electronics housing, the transducer cable extending through the passage of the tubular member and into the internal conduit chamber, through an aperture of the conduit member into an outer conduit chamber, and into an electronics housing via the aperture in an upper mounting plate.

20. The flow meter of claim 11 , further comprising a groove extending longitudinally along the outer surface of the meter body, the groove extending underneath the base of the enclosure assembly.
