Abstract
Methods, kits, and assemblies suitable for gas distribution device transportation are disclosed. An exemplary assembly includes a gas distribution device transport assembly comprising a housing comprising a recess to receive a gas distribution device, a clamping plate to secure the gas distribution device to the housing, a valve assembly, and at least one data logger assembly. Also disclosed is a gas distribution device transport kit comprising a kit housing and the gas distribution device transport assembly. An exemplary method includes transporting the gas distribution device transport kit.
Claims20
A gas distribution device transport assembly comprising:
- a gas distribution device transport comprising:
- a housing having a top surface comprising a recess therein, wherein the recess is configured to receive a gas distribution device;
- a clamping plate to secure the gas distribution device to the housing, wherein a lower portion of the gas distribution device is removably and sealably secured in the recess, and wherein a portion of the recess and a lower surface of the gas distribution device define a volume;
- a valve assembly coupled to the gas distribution device and in fluid communication with the volume;
- and
- a first data logger assembly comprising a first measurement device and a first memory device, wherein the first data logger assembly is coupled to one or more of the valve assembly or the housing.
A gas distribution device transport kit, comprising:
- a kit housing, wherein the kit housing comprises:
- a housing wall comprising a wall top surface;
- a main compartment configured to receive a gas distribution device transport assembly;
- the gas distribution device transport assembly comprising:
- a gas distribution device transport comprising:
- a housing having a top surface comprising a recess therein, wherein the recess is configured to receive a gas distribution device;
- a clamping plate to secure the gas distribution device to the housing, wherein a lower portion of the gas distribution device is removably and sealably secured in the recess, and wherein a portion of the recess and a lower surface of the gas distribution device define a volume;
- a valve assembly coupled to the gas distribution device and in fluid communication with the volume;
- and
- a data logger assembly comprising a first measurement device and a first memory device, wherein the data logger assembly is coupled to one or more of the valve assembly or the housing;
- and
- a top configured to engage the kit housing to enclose the gas distribution device transport assembly.
A method of transporting a gas distribution device transport assembly, comprising:
- coupling a gas distribution device to a housing to form the gas distribution device transport assembly, wherein the gas distribution device transport assembly comprises the housing having a top surface comprising a recess therein, wherein the recess is configured to removably and sealably receive a bottom portion of the gas distribution device and wherein a portion of the recess and a lower surface of the gas distribution device define a volume;
- coupling a valve assembly to the gas distribution device, wherein the valve assembly and the volume are in fluid communication;
- reducing a pressure within the volume to a vacuum pressure;
- positioning the gas distribution device transport assembly within a main compartment of a gas distribution device transport kit;
- securing a top to the main compartment to enclose the gas distribution device transport assembly;
- logging data using a data logger assembly, wherein the data corresponds to one or more of:
- the pressure within the volume, a temperature of the gas distribution device, an acceleration of the gas distribution device, and humidity within the gas distribution device;
- and
- transporting the gas distribution device transport kit to a destination.
