摘要: The optical displacement sensor modulates intensity of the light beam as a function of the physical displacement. The sensor includes a reflector positioned in a path of the light beam between a light source and a light detector. The reflector has a non-reflective portion surrounded by a reflective portion. Relative movement (displacement) of the beam and the reflector occurs as a function of a parameter which is being sensed. In a normal (no displacement) condition, the non-reflective portion can be positioned with respect to the light beam so that intensity of the light beam received by the detector is at a minimum, and the sensor is operating in a darkfield mode. Displacement from the normal position causes an increase in the light intensity received by the detector.

摘要: A vortex sensor used in a vortex flowmeter that has a single sensing diaphragm parallel to the direction of flow that is sensitive to differential pressures caused by vortices shed by a vortex shedding bar associated with the sensing diaphragm. A beam is attached to the sensing diaphragm and it transfers the deflecting motion of the sensing diaphragm due to differential pressures to a sensor external to the flow passageway. The sensor provides an output indicating motions of the beam caused by the beam pivoting when the sensing diaphragm deflects. The beam preferably is pivoted on a relatively rigid, fluid-tight isolator diaphragm with one end of the beam on the outside of the isolator diaphragm. The sensing diaphragm which is used to measure differential pressure rejects variations in the static pressure, that is, increases and decreases of the static pressure on both sides of the diaphragm, which is a common source of problems with existing vortex flowmeter sensors.

摘要: A sensor tube for protecting a sensor inserted into a moving process fluid is provided. The sensor tube includes a process interface section for mounting to a process vessel and an extended section extending from the process interface section to a sealed end. The extended section includes a twisted section having a longitudinal axis. The process interface section and the extended section define a sensor bore configured to receive a sensor therein.

摘要: A process transmitter includes at least one sensor which monitors a process variable, and analog-to-digital (A/D) converter circuitry coupled to the at least one sensor and configured to provide process variable data indicative of process variable values. A digital signal processor (DSP) is coupled to the A/D converter circuitry to receive the process variable data. The DSP comprises a co-processor configured to receive and perform calculations on the process variable data from the A/D converter circuitry to generate output data. Communications circuitry of the process transmitter is configured either to control communication over loop wiring which can be coupled to the process transmitter, or to control wireless communications with the process transmitter. A microprocessor, separate from the co-processor of the DSP, is coupled between the co-processor and the communications circuitry to control movement of the output data from the DSP to the communications circuitry.

摘要: A flow tube has a metal outer tube and is lined with an ETFE fluoropolymer that is resistant to corrosive chemicals and mechanical damage even at high temperatures. The inner surface of the metal tube is coated with a bonding metal that can be securely bonded to the outer metal tube and also forms a strong bond with ETFE fluoropolymer. After the bonding metal has been applied, a layer of a desired thickness of the ETFE fluoropolymer is molded in place to form an inner liner for the flow tube.
