Patent number: 5052231Abstract: In a Coriolis mass flow gauge, the signal from each sensor is digitized and converted into digital measuring values by one or more analog/digital converters operating with a specific digital sampling frequency. Then, using a microcomputer, each digital measuring value thus obtained is multiplied, on the one hand, with the sine value of the phase angle at the point of sampling of the alternating signal or another scanning signal with the same frequency as the alternating voltage signal, but phase-shifted against that signal and, on the other hand, with the corresponding cosine value.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1989Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignee: Rheometron AGInventors: Herbert Christ, Mike Kellaway, Wolfgang Stumm

Patent number: 4825705Abstract: A mass flow meter for flowing media with equipment for determining the coriolis force consists of a helicoidally bent measuring tube provided with two tube loops whose inflow and outflow ends are fastened to a massive cast block and between whose oppositely pivotable tube loops are arranged an oscillator and two sensors measuring the torsional oscillations. For a more compact stiffening and an improved clamping of the measuring tube at the cast block, the two tube loops are in each case ovally bent in one plane, extend approximately parallel to one another and are provided on one longitudinal side in each case with two tube sections lying opposite to one another in an alignment line (x.sub.1 --x.sub.1 or x.sub.2 --x.sub.2).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1987Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Rheometron AGInventors: Manfred Hohloch, Stephen Owen, Walter Steffen, Wolfgang Stumm

Patent number: 4716649Abstract: A measured-value sensor for an inductive flowmeter comprises a fluid impermeable sintered ceramic measuring tube adapted to be positioned in a conductive-liquid flow path. Magnetic coils surround the tube and are adapted to apply a magnetic field to a conductive liquid traversing the path. A pair of diametrically opposite measuring electrodes contact the liquid traversing the path for tapping an induced voltage across the electrodes representing the flow of the liquid along the path, each of the electrodes having a metallic shaft traversing the tube substantially radially and sealingly sintered to the material of the tube. The ends of the ceramic measuring tube are provided with a flange, ground at its peripheral wall surface and fastened by shrinkage stress in a bore of a steel casing.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1984Date of Patent: January 5, 1988Assignee: Rheometron AGInventors: Franz Bittner, Boudewijn J. Poortman, Kristian Rademacher-Dubbick, Abram K. Roskam, Udo Stevens, Wouter T. Tromp, Walter Beisler, Siegfried Bock, Hermann Bertsch

Patent number: 4715233Abstract: A sensor for magnetic-inductive flowmeters in defined by a sensing tube (3) disposed in a steel housing (1) and fitted with sensing electrodes (5). Two opposing magnetic coils (6) are mounted to the exterior of the tube. The coils (6) have a bolt-shaped core (7) which have saddle-shaped bases that engage the outer wall of sensing tube (3). A simplified mounting of magnetic coils (6) in steel housing (1) is achieved with flange-like webs (12) mounted adjacent an upper end (11) of coil core (7). The webs are positioned within steel housing (1) by support surfaces (29). A winding bobbin (14) is constructed of two semi-cylindrical halves (15,16) which are disposed about coil core (7) and are locked to each other with a spring catch (22). The coil wire (17) is wound about the bobbin (14) secured to core (7).Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1986Date of Patent: December 29, 1987Assignee: Rheometron AGInventors: Jozef H. M. Neven, Boodewijn J. Poortman, Wouter T. Tromp, Udo Stevens

Patent number: 4454766Abstract: A measured value recording device for magnetic-inductive flow meters includes a ferromagnetic jacket which snugly encircles an electrically insulating tube piece through which fluid can flow. Measuring electrodes are located in diametrically opposite bores in the tube piece and magnet coils are positioned in diametrically opposite radial recesses in the jacket with their inner ends projecting into holes in the tube piece to releasably lock together the jacket and tube piece.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1981Date of Patent: June 19, 1984Assignee: Rheometron AGInventors: Immo Reinhold, Wouter T.
