Abstract: A mass flowmeter has a flow-through channel (2) and as its measuring section (10) a thin strip (3) which at one end has an oscillation generator generating waves travelling along the measuring section (10) and at the other end has an energy converter (8, 9) acting as oscillation detector for these travelling waves. An evaluating circuit (11) determines the mass flow on the basis of the travelling speeds which are different in and against the direction of flow (X). In particular, only one measuring section (10) is provided, the energy converters (8, 9) of which are operable alternately as oscillation generator and oscillation detector. In this manner, meters of relatively short length and high accuracy can be made.

Abstract: The flow meter works on the Coriolis principle and has a measuring tube and at least two energy converters. At least one of the energy converters is an oscillation exciter for oscillating the tube to generate a wave traveling along the tube and an oscillation detector. An evaluating circuit uses the speed of travel of waves in the direction of flow of fluid through the tube and in the direction opposite the direction of flow to determine the mass flow of fluid through the tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protective circuit for the induction coil of a magnetically inductive type flow meter. If the leads of a flow meter used in an explosive environment are cut there can occur a high voltage and resulting sparking which could cause an explosion. The invention provides a circuit in which a short circuit path is provided for the induction coil if the leads thereof are severed to prevent the development of a high voltage which could cause dangerous sparking.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetically inductive flow meter which generates a combined signal made up of a coil generated alternating voltage and an alternating simulated voltage. An evaluating circuit processes the combined signal to determine a flow rate output value in a manner which minimizes the temperature and time drift influences on the components of the flow meter.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic flow meter of the type having a cylindrically shaped tube section with two magnetic poles each having a core section carrying a winding attached to the outside and on opposite sides of the tube section. Smaller dimensions and lower losses in the magnetic circuit are achieved by providing a casing or yoke unit formed of sheet metal members and having U-shaped core sections. The core sections have central webs adapted to the curvature of the pole shoes and rectangular coils are disposed respectively between the associated pole shoes and sheet metal yoke members.

Abstract: In an electromagnetic flow meter having a ceramic measuring tube, a housing arrangement is provided which forms a fluid tight capsule surrounding the measuring tube to prevent the escape of fluid if the tube should happen to crack or break in the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic flow meter with a magnetic system having two magnetic poles which are attachable to a measuring tube from the outside, an outer yoke, and at least one separating gap. Each pole has a pole shoe and a core section carrying a winding which is connected at the radially outward end thereof without a gap to the adjoining magnetic system portion and the separating gap is disposed beyond the magnetic path for the stray flux.

Abstract: An electromagnetic flow meter having a magnet system with pole shoes on opposite sides of a measuring tube, a magnetic coil arrangement with a yoke for the magnetic return circuit, and two measuring electrodes between the respective pole shoes. The magnetic coil is coaxial with the measuring tube and surrounds the pole shoes and the pole shoes are connected to the yoke by radially extending webs at opposite ends of the magnetic coil.

Abstract: The apparatus herein relates to an ultrasonic measuring device having a quadrupole circuit unit. Two ultrasonic converter circuits are alternately and complementary operable as transmitter and receiver circuits and have terminals on opposite sides of the quadrupole circuit unit. The quadrupole circuit unit has a transmission signal generator on the input side thereof and a receiver amplifier on the output side thereof. This kind have a zero point displacement which becomes noticeable by the fact that during a measurement in static liquid the measured signal has different values depending on the direction. As only one transmission signal generator and only one receiver amplifier are used, these values cannot be eliminated as is possible in the case of known constructions with two transmitters.

Abstract: The invention relates to an analog computing device for converting a signal x to a different power with a selectable exponent. First and second RC type time dependent transfer elements, having the functions f.sub.1 and f.sub.2 =f.sub.1.sup.b are driven by a square wave generator. The output of the first transfer element is connected to the first input of a comparator and the second input of the comparator is supplied with the signal x of which the power is to be raised to the exponent b. An instantaneous value of the output signal of the second transfer element is scanned and held by a scanning and holding latch which is triggered by the output signal of the comparator which occurs when the signal x and the output signal of the first transfer element are equal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transmit/receive switching unit for use between a transmit/receive converter and the transmission line of a transmit/receive device having a voltage source. The unit has transmitting and receiving channels with the receiving channel having a signal amplifier. An energy storage element such as a capacitor stores a part of the transmission energy on a continuing basis for operating the signal amplifier in the receiving channel. This scheme saves having to provide a separate line from a voltage source to the amplifier.
