FIELD: manufacturing technology.
SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to the field technology devices. In particular, the invention relates to flanges used to connect process field devices with the process. Flange (200) for process field devices comprises the first end (300), the second end (302), and the first mounting pad (204) for the first field device (207) securing between the first end (300) and the second end (302). First mounting pad (204) has the first hole (216) for the device and the third hole for the device, located in the first mounting pad (204), to create the fluid communication with the first field device (270). Second mounting pad (206) on the flange is designed for the second field device (202) installation between the first end and the second end. Second mounting pad (206) has the second hole (228) and the fourth hole for the device, located in the second mounting pad (206), to create the fluid communication with the second field device (272). Connecting holes, which supply fluid to the flange are located at the flange ends. First inner chamber fluidly connects the first connecting hole to the first hole for the device and to the second hole for the device, and the second inner chamber fluidly connects the second connecting hole to the third hole for the device and to the fourth hole for the device. Second inner chamber is not in the fluid communication with the first inner chamber.
EFFECT: ability to support the multiple field devices, such as pressure sensors, and the ability to distribute fluid from the connecting pipe to the multiple field devices.
