FIELD: measuring equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a measuring technique and can be used to measure the amount (volume, mass) of each component of a two-component dielectric fluid in a metal container of an arbitrary configuration. In the first measurement cycle, electromagnetic waves of wavelength λ1 are emitted in free space, smaller characteristic cavity size, in the space bounded by the metal shell of the vessel, configuration of the cavity is cyclically changed, part of the electromagnetic field power is removed from the cavity and the average per cycle value is measured of the power output from the cavity P1 of electromagnetic field at a wavelength λ1. In the second measurement cycle, electromagnetic wavelengths are emitted λ2 in free space, smaller characteristic cavity size and at the same time λ2>λ1, in the space bounded by the metal shell of the vessel, with volume reduced by ΔV1 compared to volume V0 during the first measurement cycle, measure the average per cycle value of the power output from the cavity P2 of electromagnetic field at a wavelength λ2. In the third measurement cycle, electromagnetic wavelengths are emitted λ3 in free space, smaller characteristic cavity size and at the same time λ3>λ2>λ1, in the space bounded by the metal shell of the vessel, with a volume reduced by ΔV1+ΔV2 compared to volume V0 in the first measurement cycle, average per cycle value is measured of the power removed from the cavity P3 of electromagnetic field at a wavelength λ3. Perform joint functional transformation P1, P2 and P3 of volume and/or mass of the component.
EFFECT: increased accuracy of measurement of each component.
