  • Publication number: 20220056565
    Abstract: The invention relates to a Ferritic stainless steel having excellent corrosion and sheet forming properties consisting of weight percentages 0.003-0.035% carbon, 0.05-1.0% silicon, 0.10-0.8% manganese, 18-24% chromium, 0.05-0.8% nickel, 0.003-2.5% molybdenum, 0.2-0.8% copper, 0.003-0.05% nitrogen, 0.05-1.0% titanium, 0.05-1.0% niobium, 0.03-0.5% vanadium, 0.0IO-0.04% aluminium, and the sum C+N less than 0.06%, the remainder being iron and inevitable impurities, wherein the ratio (Ti+Nb)/(C+N) is higher or equal to 8, and less than 40, and the ratio Tieq/Ceq=(Ti+0.515*Nb+0.940*V)/(C+0.858*N) is higher or equal to 6, and less than 40, and Leq=5.8*Nb+5*Ti*Si is higher or equal to 3.3, and the steel is produced using AOD (Argon-Oxygen-Decarburization) technology.

  • Patent number: 6470734
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for measuring a fluid. Electromagnetic radiation is used to measure the consistency, flow and/or gas content of a fluid flowing in a process pipe (102). At least two of the measurements are carried out substantially from the same measurement point in the fluid in a measuring tube (202) by utilizing one integrated measuring equipment (200) comprising transmitters and receivers for electromagnetic radiation in order to carry out the aforementioned at least two measurements.

  • Patent number: 6427521
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a measuring arrangement for measuring the gas content of a fluid (13). The fluid (13) comprises gas bubbles. In the method, microwave radiation (20) is transmitted through the fluid (13) and a signal (7) indicating the travel time, phase or amplitude of the radiation (20) is formed in a microwave measuring device (16), and a gas measuring equipment (18) determines the gas content of the fluid (13) by means of the signal (7).
