METHOD FOR MEASURING MULTIPHASE MEDIA VOLUME DISCHARGE RATE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology. SUBSTANCE: method involves changing blade member rotation speed until it is synchronized with the flow speed. The moment the synchronization takes place is detected by minimum deformation of the blade member observed. The method is put into effect by means of flow meter having casing, blade member, electric motor, pressure regulator, stuffing box, shaft, elastic plate between the blade member and the shaft, rod on the shaft, blade member and rod position pickup, pickup signal transducer, shaft speed indicating display. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy in measuring volume discharge through the pipeline cross-section. 2 dwg
