Abstract: An arrangement of probes is described, which comprises a carrier formed as an intermediate flange, in which a plurality of radially extending mounting openings are provided. The inner surfaces of the carrier are provided with an electrically insulating corrosion resistant layer, which is preferably an enamel layer. The carrier is having a polygonal outline and plane mounting surfaces surrounding the mounting openings. Measuring probes provided with a mounting flange can be exchangeably and sealingly attached to the mounting surfaces. By arranging different probes a large number of different measurement functions and supervision functions can be achieved. As an example, carrier sleeves comprising a window can be built in, so that a visual observation or a turbidity measurement can be performed.

Abstract: A temperature measuring sensor arrangement is described, which can be inserted into or removed from an enamelled built in part in a simple manner without a need for specific tools. A measuring insert with a carrier is provided, along the length of which an outwardly protruding detent element in the form of a collar is provided, and from the lower end surface of which carrier one or several measuring sensors are protruding. The carrier is slidably arranged in a longitudinal direction in a guiding tube and is biased downwardly by a spring engaging between the detent element and a shoulder in the guiding tube. A stop protruding from the inner wall of the guiding tube limits the displacement of the biased carrier.

Abstract: A method and a measuring device for localizing a damage in a dielectric corrosion resistant layer of a pipe line are described, especially for an enameled pipe line, through which an electrolytically conducting fluid is passed. Localization is achieved by performing a potential difference measurement between two electrodes arranged at the begining and at the end of a supervised region along the length of the pipe line, to which preferably a constant current source is connected, the positive terminal of which is connected with the carrier material of the pipe line and the negative terminal of which is connected with the two electrodes. Preverably a calibration is performed by means of an additional electrode, which can be connected to the measurement region.

Abstract: A capacitive probe for measuring fluid level has two electrodes, each of which forms a capacitor with a supporting conductive body. The first electrode is a vertical band which will yield a capacitive value dependent upon the dielectric constant, conductivity, as well as level of the fluid. The bulk of the second electrode is arranged at the lower end of the supporting body totally immersed in the liquid, and will yield a capacitance based on the dielectric constant and conductivity of the liquid, but substantially not the level of the liquid. A value indicating the liquid level independent of dielectric constant and conductivity may be obtained from the two capacitive values of the electrodes.

Abstract: A tantalum electrode is provided on a probe dipping into the electrically conducting contents of a reaction vessel of which the steel shell is protected by an enamel layer pierced by one or more protective tantalum plugs and an alternating voltage is applied between the tantalum electrode and the metallic shell of the reaction vessel. Both the electrode and the plug or plugs are provided with a passivating layer by the resulting alternating current and when these layers are formed the current stops except that it continues or starts again when there is a defect in the enamel layer. Very small currents can be used since the a-c component can be filtered and amplified for reliable detection.
