  • Publication number: 20100161249
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transferring a liquid having a gas inclusion at least at times and for determining the amount of liquid transferred, in which the liquid is conveyed through a line, a degree of filling measurement is carried out in the line, a flow measurement is carried out in the line and a calculation, in particular multiplication, is performed on the result of the degree of filling measurement and the result of the flow measurement, whereby a conveyed amount value is obtained. It is thereby provided that the conveyed amount value, which is obtained by performing a calculation on the result of the degree of filling measurement and the result of the flow measurement, is corrected with a value which takes into consideration a dissolution of the gas inclusion in the liquid, whereby a corrected conveyed amount value is obtained, and the corrected conveyed amount value is used as a measure for the liquid amount transferred.

  • Publication number: 20100132451
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an amount during the transfer of a liquid, wherein the liquid is introduced at a supply opening into a measurement line and is removed from the measurement line at an outlet opening, and an amount of liquid flowing through the measurement line is determined by means of a flow measuring unit assigned to the measurement line. According to the invention, liquid present in the measurement line is discontinuously fed to a degassing arrangement. The invention further relates to a device for determining an amount during the transfer of a liquid.
