    摘要: A pivotable vane flowmeter comprises at least one pivotable vane disposed pivotably about a pivot axis parallel to the the direction of fluid flow and experiencing a fluid dynamic torque created by the fluid flow, a bias spring or counter-weight providing a bias torque counter-acting the fluid dynamic torque, and a rotary position sensor detecting the rotary position of the pivotable vane about the pivot axis, wherein the dynamic pressure of the fluid flow is determined as a function of the rotary position of the pivotable vane about the pivot axis, and the time rate of the fluid flow is determined from a combination of the dynamic pressure of the fluid flow and the known or measured value of the fluid density, or from another combination of the dynamic pressure of the fluid flow and the frequency of rotation of a rotating turbine or propeller installed in conjunction with the pivotable vane flowmeter.

    摘要: To measure flow rates, the cross-sectional shape of the flow path is changed by inserting a multiple position gate into the flow path and altering the position of the gate to maintain the head of liquid constant with a reduced flow cross section. The position of the multiple position gate is correlated with the depth as measured with a bubbler to provide an indication of flow rate. To purge the bubbler line, a purge tank is located near the bubbler line. At timed periods or as manually initiated the controller causes an increase in pressure in accumulator portion of the purge tank. When a predetermined pressure is reached, a purge valve in the purge tank opens, rapidly allowing a burst of air at a substantial pressure and velocity to flow through the bubbler line to remove any material adhering to the bubbler outlet port. For this purpose, the purge tank acts as an accumulator until the pressure in the tank against the effective area of the inner portion of a purge valve element overcomes the resisting force of a spring, at which time the valve element moves slightly, permitting air to flow over a larger area of the valve element. This increases the area receiving the accumulator air pressure to include an outer portion of the valve element and this increased effective pressure area of the valve increases the force rapidly to cause the valve to snap open.

    摘要: An asymmetrical displacement flowmeter comprises a streamlined body or assembly 1 which floats or is submerged in liquid 3 and is subjected to frictional and dynamic pressure forces caused by liquid flow and tilts about axis 9 near the leading end of the body being anchored relative to the flow through tie 7 and anchor 6 or other means acting through axis 9. Degree of tilt from the vertical of body 1 about the axis is affected by the gravity restoring moment acting about the axis and can be adjusted by movement of weight 14 within the body. Pointer 12 attached to pendulum 13 about axis 9 indicates velocity of flow on scale 2 attached to body 1. In open channel depth is measured on scale 11. In closed conduit, body rotates about shaft through wall and may be folded during installation. Velocity and depth may be transmitted electronically.

    摘要: An oval gear pump for shear-sensitive fluids particularly suited for use in dispensing metered amounts of food syrups, condiments, or other thick or viscous liquids. The viscosity of some of such materials tends to degrade when excessive agitation is incurred. The gear pump minimizes such agitation by sweeping integrated masses of substantial volume between the inlet and the outlet. The pumping system also provides a flow-sensing device including a tubular magnet movable against spring pressure by fluid flow to an operated position. When the magnet is in the operated position, an adjacent external switch is operated to produce a signal indicating flow. The pumping system is particularly adapted for use in connection with ice cream dispensing machines.

    摘要: A quantity flowmeter for measuring the volume of flow of a pulsating fluid stream has a conduit for a freely movable float which is biased against a stop and is moved away from the stop by successive pulses or droplets of the pulsating fluid stream. The float carries or includes a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the conduit is surrounded by a self-inductance coil with turns having a density which varies in or counter to the direction of movement of the float away from the stop. When a pulse causes the float to move away from the stop, voltage signals which are generated by the coil and indicate the speed of movements of the float are transmitted to an integrator which transmits integrated signals to a computer. The computer calculates the volume of flow of successive pulses.
