TESTING BENCH OF THE FUEL COMPONENTS LEVEL GAUGE PERFORMANCE IN THE ROCKET CARRIER TANKS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01F25/00 

FIELD: testing equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for experimental method, calibration and performance check of the fuel components level gauges in the rocket carrier fuel tanks simultaneous discharge terminal system (RC). The bench includes the testing level gauge, which is the rod with the sensitive elements, placed in the stabiliser tube dampers and fixed by braces with a measuring container, having the filling level sensor; adjustable metering pump, temperature and pressure control devices, flow meter, drain container with stilling wall, level control system, filling and drain valves, control unit, the Stewart's platform with the movable support element, which actuator is designed in the form of six hydraulic cylinders connecting the movable support element and fixed base of the Stewart's platform; the hydraulic cylinders are connected through the hydraulic control valves to the fluid preparation unit and provided with the rod position sensor.

EFFECT: provision of the fuel level gauge performance check in the conditions close to the actual operation conditions of RC, measures on the improvement of the level gauges performance effeciency check.
