  • Method and device for monitoring, displaying and remote reporting of homogeneous and non-homogeneous turbulent material flow streams in confined channels and pipes
    Patent number: 11846530
    Abstract: A method and device for accurately monitoring, displaying, and remote reporting of turbulent material flow streams in confined channels and pipes is provided. The device can have multiple cams coupled to an obstruction, and a spring. The multiple cams can have a cam profile, and the cam profile and the spring may be selected to linearize a rotation of the obstruction over a range of fluid flow velocities. The obstruction can include have multiple obstructions each in a different area of a cross-section of a pipe, improving the accuracy of the device.

  • MASS VELOCITY SENSOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MONITORING AND VISUAL VERIFICATION OF FLUID VELOCITY
    Publication number: 20140345516
    Abstract: A wireless multi-range, mass velocity sensor assembly for remote monitoring with direct on-site visual validation of mass velocity is provided. In certain implementations, the sensor assembly comprises a channel body fixture, an obstruction mounted within an aperture formed in the inlet or outlet of the channel body fixture, and an arcuate indicator that protrudes above the fluid flow path and provides clear visual readout of the flow velocity. In some implementations, the sensor assembly can be easily adapted for existing back check valve and other back flow prevention devices.
