Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are disclosed for indicating bottoming contact between an inner wall of a fluid carrying conduit and a distal tip process measurement probe. A process device, such as a fluid flow meter, has a process measurement probe configured for insertion into the fluid carrying conduit. An insertion mechanism is coupled to the process measurement probe and configured to apply force to insert the process measurement probe into the fluid carrying conduit. A bottoming indicator is configured to provide an indication of proper bottoming of the distal tip of the process measurement probe against the inner wall of the fluid carrying conduit as a function of an insertion related force or pressure.
