Abstract
Description
10 15 20 25 30 506 568 2 rör med två tryckavkänningssonder. Vardera sonden matas med ett tryckreglerat fluidum samt är försedd med ett inlopp och två utlopp för fluidet. Sondens utflöden är likaså tryck- reglerade. Det ena utloppet regleras därutöver av en klaff, vilken står i förbindelse med sondens tryckavkännande membran. Det andra utloppet undergår tryckreduktion efter passage av ett hålrum i sonden. De tryckavkännande rörelserna via membranet blir därigenom ytterligt små. Det anges på sidan 8 i utläggningsskriften att sonderna kan användas vid t ex avkänning av tryck och nivåer i t ex reservoarer. Till skillnad mot anordningen enligt uppfmningsföremålet upprätthålles dock enligt hänvisningen ett konstant tryck inom respektive sond vilket utesluter användning av mätdon med differens- tryckgivare. 10 15 20 25 30 506 568 2 tube with two pressure sensing probes. Each probe is fed with a pressure-regulated fl uidum and is provided with one inlet and two outlets for fl uidet. The fate of the probe is also regulated. One outlet is additionally regulated by a flap, which is connected to the probe's pressure sensing diaphragm. The second outlet undergoes pressure reduction after passage of a cavity in the probe. The pressure sensing movements via the diaphragm become thereby extremely small. It is stated on page 8 of the explanatory memorandum that the probes can be used for, for example, sensing pressure and levels in, for example, reservoirs. Unlike however, the device according to the object of the invention is maintained according to the reference one constant pressure within each probe, which excludes the use of measuring devices with different pressure transmitter.
De sonder som användes i det föreliggande mätsystemet är under mätförloppet utbalanserade genom ett servomedium i separata reglerkretsar, och till skillnad mot tidigare teknik möjliggöres efter reglering till järnvikt mellan yttre och inre tryck hos respektive sondmembran registrering via ett rnätdon av en tryckdifferens mellan två mätpunkter. Membranens deflexion d v s i normalfallet initial inåtbuktning styres på basis av induktans från ett givarelement i sonden men också andra givarmöjligheter som piezoelektricitet och tràdtöjningsrelaterad resistivitet är användbara. Företrädesvis genom- föres styrning till noll-deflexion, även om andra deflexionsgrader är möjliga vid ut- balansering. Som servomedium vid utbalanseringen kan användas inerta gaser eller låg- viskösa vätskor, som ej är elektriskt ledande.The probes used in the present measuring system are during the measuring process balanced by a servo medium in separate control circuits, and unlike prior art is made possible after regulation to iron weight between external and internal pressures of respective probe diaphragm registration via a network device of a pressure difference between two measuring points. The deflection of the membrane, i.e. normally initial inward curvature, is controlled on a basis of inductance from a sensor element in the probe but also other sensor possibilities such as piezoelectricity and wire strain-related resistivity are useful. Preferably, control is brought to zero-de fl exion, although other de fl degrees of excision are possible at balancing. Inertial gases or low inertia can be used as servo medium for balancing. viscous liquids, which are not electrically conductive.
Stumma membrantyper med liten area är att föredra, eftersom membranen är förhållandevis okänsliga mot påbyggnad av främmande material, som förändrar givarele- mentens massa. Vid denna membrantyp elimineras även krypningsfenomen i materialet.Dumb membrane types with a small area are preferable, because the membranes are relatively insensitive to the build-up of foreign matter, which alters the donor ment mass. With this type of membrane, creep phenomena in the material are also eliminated.
I figur 1 återges schematiskt föreliggande mätsystem, varigenom funktions- principema framgår i stora drag. Varje mätsond (7,8) är fast monterad vid ett fixt avstånd mellan de bägge mätpunkterna. Det förutsättes att en tryckskillnad föreligger vid detta konstanta avstånd. Genom separata tiyckregulatorer (ll,12) utbalanseras respektive sond- membran (9,10) med hjälp av exempelvis en hydraulventil i regulatom och därvid registreras genom ett mätdon (13) tryckskillnaden dP mellan servomedierna i respektive krets. ' Tryckregulatorema matas i princip av ett trycksatt servomedium från gemensam anslutning (1). Mottrycket i vardera sonden svarar vid utbalanseringen, d v s efter upp- nådd jämvikt mellan trycket i servomediet (2) och trycket på givarens utsida, mot det 10 15 506 368 3 rådande trycket på membranets utsida. Genom att ansluta mätdonet för differenstryck (13) till servomediet (2) i respektive mätsond erhålles en utsignal, som är direkt proportionell mot trycknivån i vardera mätpunktema efter utbalanseringen.Figure 1 schematically shows the present measuring system, whereby the the principles are outlined. Each measuring probe (7,8) is permanently mounted at a fixed distance between the two measuring points. It is assumed that there is a pressure difference at this constant distances. By means of separate pressure regulators (11, 12), the respective probe diaphragm (9,10) by means of, for example, a hydraulic valve in the regulator and thereby is registered by a measuring device (13) the pressure difference dP between the servo media in the respective circuit. ' The pressure regulators are in principle fed by a pressurized servo medium from the joint connection (1). The back pressure in each probe corresponds to the balancing, i.e. after equilibrium is reached between the pressure in the servo medium (2) and the pressure on the outside of the sensor, against the 10 15 506 368 3 prevailing pressure on the outside of the diaphragm. By connecting the differential pressure gauge (13) to the servo medium (2) in the respective measuring probe, an output signal is obtained, which is directly proportional against the pressure level in each of the measuring points after balancing.
Trycket i vardera mätsonden registreras genom separata rörelsegivaré (5,6) och respektive signal (3,4) användes för styrningen av tryckregulatorerna (11,12).The pressure in each measuring probe is registered by separate motion sensors (5,6) and the respective signal (3,4) is used for controlling the pressure regulators (11,12).
Genom mätanordningen möjliggöres först och främst densitetsmätning hos vätskor under svära förhållanden, tex korrosiva betingelser eller med svårhanterliga egenskaper som hög viskositet, klibbighet, sedimenteringsbenägenheter etc, då t ex olika typer av massflödesmätare, vägningsapparamr m fl fungerar mindre bra. Den föreliggande an- ordningen saknar helt och hållet öppna intag och detta är en bidragande orsak till att olägenheter med igensatta flödeskanaler och tryckupptagningszoner kan reduceras betydligt, varigenom tillsynsintervallen kan ökas. Justeringsbehovet hos det konstruktions- mässigt sett mycket enkla mätsystemet är därigenom minimalt jämfört med tidigare känd apparatur för densitetsmätning.The measuring device first and foremost enables density measurement of liquids under severe conditions, such as corrosive conditions or with difficult-to-handle properties such as high viscosity, tackiness, sedimentation tendencies, etc., then for example different types of mass feasibility meter, weighing device frame m fl works less well. The present application the scheme lacks completely open intakes and this is a contributing reason why inconveniences with clogged fl fate channels and pressure absorption zones can be reduced significantly, whereby the supervision intervals can be increased. The need for adjustment of the design In terms of very simple measurement system, this is minimal compared to previously known density measurement apparatus.
Icke desto mindre torde appliceringsmöjlighetema vara betydande inom andra områden än densitetsmätning. Som exempel på tänkbara tillämpningar kan nämnas mätning av flödeshastigheter genom venturirör, nivåmätning i cisterner, utprovning av aerodynamiska och hydrodynamiska strömningsförlopp mm.Nevertheless, the application possibilities should be significant in others areas other than density measurement. Examples of possible applications can be mentioned measurement of fl fatal velocities through venturi, level measurement in cisterns, testing of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic flow processes etc.
