FIELD: measurement equipment.
SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to measurement equipment, namely to methods and devices for determining different parameters of liquids, namely oil products, stored or transported in tanks, and can be used in systems for determining volume and weight of liquids. A sensor of medium characteristics with a vibration sensitive element and a built-in temperature transducer is moved in test liquid on different levels of submersion, and density and viscosity of liquid is measured, thus controlling variation of vibration frequency of the sensitive element of the sensor, thus measuring liquid temperature at the same time. Level measurement is made by calculating the number of signals per certain length of movement of the sensor. By processing density, viscosity and temperature data, such liquid parameters, as levels of its delamination and levels of boundary lines of liquid/air media and oil product/produced water are determined. The device for the method's implementation includes sensor 1 consisting of vibration detector 1.1 and temperature transducer 1.2. Sensor 1 is attached to tape cable 2 wound on drum 3 that is rotated by stepper motor 4. Cable 2 at its being drawn rotates measurement wheel 5 with encoder 6. Cable 2 is provided with inductive sensor 7 of tension and sensor 8 of upper position. The other end of cable 2 is connected to electronic unit 9.
EFFECT: enlargement of functional capabilities and scope of application.
