GEAR MEASURING MASS IN CENTRIFUGE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: weight-measuring equipment. SUBSTANCE: gear measuring mass in centrifuges meant to separate suspensions into solid and liquid phases has body 2, drum 4 mounted for rotation in body, charging tube 11 to feed suspension into drum 4. Body 2 is mounted for rocking around proper axis of turn. There is provided dynamometric element 19 sensitive to deviations of positions of body dependent on mass around axis of turn and caused by different degree of filling of drum with suspension or by different degree of removal of moisture from solid phase of suspension. Gear also includes pipe-line 10 to form excessive or reduced pressure in drum 4. In this case line 50 of action of force P₁ emerging in pipe-line due to excessive or reduce pressure so passes that it crosses axis 14 of turn of body 2 or there is provided transducer measuring pressure in drum and correcting readings of indicator 35 of measured values depending on value of this pressure. EFFECT: increased measurement accuracy. 2 cl, 5 dwg
