DEVICE FOR MEASURING CONCENTRATION OF LOOSE MATERIAL IN PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: investigating or analyzing materials.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises measuring section made of dielectric pipe whose inner diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the pipeline, two electrodes which form a capacitor made of segments of the dielectric pipe, mounted diametrically opposite, and connected with the electronic unit. The electronic unit has a self-excited oscillator whose frequency-generating circuit includes the capacitor and device for processing frequencies with the indicator. The electrodes are arranged inside the dielectric pipe of the measuring section. The transverse length of each electrode can be greater than half inner diameter of the pipeline. The longitudinal length of each electrode may not exceed half length of the dielectric pipe.

EFFECT: enhanced sensitivity.
