Abstract

PURPOSE:To handle the amount of produced gas over a wide range and to perform automatic continuous measuring operation by providing a U-shaped tube which is filled with liquid and a three-way solenoid value which is interposed in the branch part of the U-shaped tube of a conduit connected to a gas production source to a vertical branch tube, etc. CONSTITUTION:This measuring instrument consists of the U-shaped tube 1 which is charged with the liquid, the vertical branch tube 1a of the U-shaped tube 1 of the conduit 3 connected to the gas production source, the three-way solenoid valve 6 interposed in the branch part of each conduit extending to outside the system, a conductive float 12 which floats on the liquid surface in the vertical branch pipe 1b of the tube 1, etc. Consequently, the conduit 3 is normally open and a conduit 5 is closed; and produced gas, therefore, enters the branch tube 1a through the solenoid valve 6 to push up the liquid in the branch tube 1b with the gas pressure, thereby elevating the floating float 12. When the float 12 contacts an electrode 9, an electric circuit 7 for solenoid valve operation id closed to excite the valve 6, thereby closing the conduit 3 and opening the conduit 5. Consequently, the liquid level in the branch tube 1b falls and the float 12 leaves the electrode 9 to turn off the solenoid valve 6, so that the gas enters the branch tube 1a. For the purpose, the number of times of operation of the solenoid valve 6 is measured automatically to measure the amount of the produced gas.
