Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a sensor well system that includes a mounting tube and a clip disposed within the mounting tube and configured to engage with a sensor to secure the sensor within the mounting tube, where the clip is formed from a band of flexible material. The clip includes a curved end portion configured to receive an end portion of the sensor and at least one protrusion disposed along a length of the band outside of the curved end portion such that the at least one protrusion is configured to abut a side of the sensor when the sensor is installed within the sensor well system.
Claims24
A sensor well system, comprising:
- a sensor;
- a clip comprising a width, a curved end portion, a second end, and a protrusion, wherein the sensor is configured to abut against the curved end portion, and the protrusion is between the curved end portion and the second end of the clip;
- and
- a mounting tube having an inner diameter, wherein the width of the clip fits within the inner diameter of the mounting tube, and wherein the protrusion is configured to extend away from an inner surface of the mounting tube.
A sensor well system, comprising:
- a mounting tube comprising an inner surface and an inner diameter;
- a sensor configured to be disposed within the mounting tube in an assembled configuration of the sensor well system;
- and
- a clip configured to be disposed within the mounting tube in the assembled configuration of the sensor well system, wherein the clip comprises a body portion, a curved end portion extending from the body portion, and a protrusion formed in the body portion,
- wherein the curved end portion receives and abuts an end of the sensor in the assembled configuration.
A sensor well system, comprising:
- a mounting tube;
- a sensor disposed within the mounting tube;
- and
- a clip disposed within the mounting tube, wherein the clip comprises a curved end portion abutting the sensor, a body portion extending from the curved end portion to a second end of the clip opposite the curved end portion, and a protrusion formed in the body portion between the curved end portion and the second end.
