US 2020/0263718 A1 · PROBE SOCKET FOR AN EXHAUST SYSTEM

Abstract

An exhaust system probe socket has an essentially hollow cylindrically configured first body, which has a planar circular ring surface on a first end face and a second body with a flat circular ring surface at a first end. The second body has a passage with a diameter that corresponds to or is greater than an internal diameter of the first body. A second end of the second body is configured to make possible a gastight connection of the probe socket to a connection surface by compensating geometric deviations of the connection surface from a plane. The first and second bodies contact one another in an area of a second end face of the first body and of the flat circular ring surface and are welded to one another with a weld seam extending circumferentially around the first body to gastightly connect the bodies to one another.

Dependent claims

An exhaust system probe socket comprising:

an essentially hollow cylindrically configured first body which has a first planar circular ring surface on a first end face with an first body internal diameter;
and
a second body, which has a flat circular ring surface at a first end, has a second end and within the flat circular ring surface has a passage with a second body internal diameter, wherein:
the second body internal diameter corresponds to or is greater than the first body internal diameter;
the second end of the second body is configured to form a gastight connection of the probe socket to a connection surface by compensating geometric deviations of the connection surface from a plane;
and
the first and second bodies are in contact with one another in an area of a second end face of the first body and of the flat circular ring surface and are welded to one another with a weld seam extending circumferentially around the first body such that the first and second bodies are gastight connected to one another.
