Abstract
The modular bowl system provides a detachable bowl top and a modular bottom. The bowl top detaches to allow for easy repair of the bowl system should the bowl top become damaged. The detachable modular bottom securing to the bowl body for attaching the bowl body to the annular. The modular bottom provides a fixed attachment or a rotatable attachment of the bowl body with the annular. The modular bottom provides different sized bottom flanges for attachment to different sized annulars. The bowl body rotates for positioning of the bowl and the outlets and the inlet of the bowl for attachment to the flow line.

A modular bowl system for securing a bowl to an annular, the system comprising:
- a bowl body having at least a first flow aperture and a second flow aperture;
- a central bore extending through the bowl body wherein the central bore defines a vertical axis;
- the first flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage through the bowl body into the central bore;
- the second flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage from the central bore through the bowl body;
- a modular bottom that secures to the bowl body wherein the central bore extends through the modular bottom;
- an upper seal secured on an upper surface of the modular bottom wherein the seal seals between the modular bottom and the bowl body by contacting the modular bottom and the central bore;
- a third flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage through the bowl body to the central bore, wherein the first flow aperture can serve as an inlet, wherein the second flow aperture and the third flow aperture can serve as outlets.

- a bowl body having at least a first flow aperture and a second flow aperture;
- a central bore extending through the bowl body wherein the central bore defines a vertical axis,
- the first flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage through the bowl body into the central bore;
- the second flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage from the central bore through the bowl body;
- a modular bottom that secures to the bowl body wherein the central bore extends through the modular bottom;
- an upper seal secured on an upper surface of the modular bottom wherein the seal seals between the modular bottom and the bowl body by contacting the modular bottom and the central bore;
- a facing of the bowl body located adjacent the first flow aperture wherein the facing provides a flat surface at a lateral outer edge of the bowl body from the central bore;
- a clearance aperture that reduces the height of the modular bottom at a lateral outer edge from the central bore of the modular bottom wherein the clearance aperture aligns with the facing of the bowl body wherein the clearance aperture abuts the facing.

- an upper seal secured on an upper surface of the modular bottom wherein the seal seals between the modular bottom and the bowl body by contacting the modular bottom and the central bore;
- wherein the modular bottom enables rotation of the bowl body, first flow aperture, and the second flow aperture while securing the bowl body to the annular;
- a swivel neck secured to the bowl body;
- and
- a base that attaches to the annular wherein the swivel neck extends downward into the base, wherein the swivel neck rotates in relation to the base.
A modular bowl system for securing a bowl to an annular, the system comprising:
- a bowl body having at least a first flow aperture and a second flow aperture;
- a lower flange of the bowl body;
- a central bore extending through the bowl body wherein the central bore defines a vertical axis the first flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage through the bowl body into the central bore;
- the second flow aperture of the bowl body allowing passage from the central bore through the bowl body;
- a modular bottom having an upper flange that secures to the lower flange of the bowl body wherein the central bore extends through the modular bottom;
- an upper seal secured on an upper surface of the modular bottom wherein the seal seals between the upper flange of modular bottom and the lower flange of the bowl body by contacting the modular bottom and the lower flange of the bowl body;
- a connector that secures the bowl body;
- a swivel neck that secures to the connector wherein the connector secures the swivel neck to the bowl body;
- a base that attaches to the annular wherein the swivel neck extends downward into the base, wherein the swivel neck, connector and bowl body rotate in relation to the base;
- a connector.
