TEST RIG FOR DETERMINATION OF HYDRAULIC RESIDUES OF FUEL IN MISSILE TANK Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01M10/00 F02K9/96 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: test rig contains movable horizontal platform with drive, drain tank with consumption pipeline, drain pipeline with continuity transmitter and flexible link. The platform is installed on the rig frame by means of the several parallel pendulum posts. On the platform the tested tank with intake device and drain pipeline with continuity transmitter are rigidly secured. In the consumption pipeline the flowmeter, shutoff valve, flowrate controller, hydraulic pump are installed. Pump inlet is connected to the drain tank by loop main with installed valve. The drain pipeline is rigidly secured on the platform, connected to tested tank and via the flexible link is connected with the consumption pipeline. The flexible link is made in form of a pipe with tight spherical hinges at ends and is located parallel to the posts. The flexible link length is equal to the posts height.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of hydraulic residues determination in the tested tank of the missile, and exclusion of the loads on the drain pipeline of the tested tank.
