    摘要: Methods and apparatus for calibrating microwave reflection sensors in fluid flow measurement devices are described. A calibration apparatus has a reservoir member with a fill opening, the reservoir member defining a reservoir in an interior thereof, the fill opening being operable to fill the reservoir with a calibrant fluid; a tube coupled to a side of the reservoir member and in fluid communication with the reservoir, the tube having a first end coupled to the side of the reservoir and a second end, the tube having a length matched to an inner diameter of a pipe section of the flow measurement device to extend across the inner diameter; and a seal member disposed at the second end of the tube for sealing the second end of the tube against a sensing surface of the microwave reflection sensor installed in the pipe section of the flow measurement device.

    摘要: An arrangement includes a pipeline and a Coriolis volumetric flow meter for measuring a mass flow rate of a medium flowing through the pipeline. A first pressure sensor is attached at an inlet-side of the pipeline and a second pressure sensor is attached at an outlet-side of the pipeline, or wherein a differential pressure sensor is configured to detect a difference between an inlet-side and an outlet-side. The pressure sensors and/or the differential pressure sensor are configured to measure a media pressure and to determine, for each differential pressure, a volumetric flow velocity of the medium through the pipeline. A first monitoring sensor is attached at an inlet-side portion of the pipeline and a second monitoring sensor is attached at an outlet-side portion of the pipeline, wherein the monitoring sensors are configured to monitor a measurement variable different from the media pressure to identify a static media state.

    摘要: A flow meter run offers autonomous operation whilst improving measurement performance & confidence, increased safety and improving the total cost of ownership. A plurality of isolation valve assemblies each offer DBB (Double Block & Bleed) isolation to isolate a component or meter run section. This DBB isolation includes components being extracted from the main metering line. The meter run philosophy is detailed with use of a novel rotational orifice meter, though other flow meters may be substituted. The flow meter run also features extractable filters, a rotational and extractable flow conditioner which includes open and blind isolation components. The rotational orifice meter can house several independent orifice plates or nozzles and extractable sample probes and temperature elements. Further instrument sensors include the direct (non-inferred) measurement of density and/or viscosity. The system is configured for multiple sensors to monitor performance, autonomy, validation and isolation.

    摘要: A method of controlling an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving measurement values for the state of air displayed on a plurality of external electronic apparatuses from each of the plurality of external apparatuses, calculating rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the received measurement values, identifying external electronic apparatuses of which differences of the calculated rates of change belong to a predetermined range among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, correcting the measurement values received from at least one external electronic apparatus among the identified external electronic apparatuses such that the measurement values received from the identified external electronic apparatuses become the same as one another, and transmitting information related to the corrected measurement values to the at least one external electronic apparatus.
