ABSTRACT:
A mounting structure is provided which is particularly adapted for holding a level sensor in place at an opening on vessels containing pressure above or below the ambient pressure. First and second fitting members are provided which are installed on the vessel at the opening provided thereon. The level sensor is releasably attached to the second fitting member positioned on the exterior of the vessel so it is in communication with the interior of the vessel. The first and second fitting members are mechanically locked together so that the vessel wall is held captive between the fitting members. The mounting structure provides a positive mechanical lock between the vessel and the level sensor ensuring that the level sensor will not be blown out of, or sucked into, the vessel even if the fluid tight seal between the mounting structures fails.
