METHOD FOR IN-FLOW MEASURING OF QUANTITY OF LIQUID Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves automatically determining measuring chamber filling and emptying time at each cycle and quantity of liquid per each operating cycle of pumping out device from ratio: Q_i/V_p = 1+t_Hi/t_Пi, where Q_i is quantity of liquid per i-cycle of measurement, V_p is volume of measuring chamber enclosed between upper and lower level sensors, t_Hi is time for emptying measuring chamber in i cycle, t_Пi is time for filling measuring chamber in i cycle; summing up quantity of liquid per each cycle and volume of liquid remained in measuring vessel upon terminating operation; determining total quantity of liquid. Method is used for milk accounting. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved precision of measurements. 2 dwg
