Publication number: 20220357193Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to measuring methods for determining a flow rate of a process gas, contained in a gas pressure vessel charged with overpressure, escaping from the gas pressure vessel. In one example embodiment, the method includes: exerting a vessel weight force from the gas pressure vessel together with the contained process gas; compensating for the vessel weight force by means of a counterweight force exerted by a counterweight, or the counterweight force by means of the vessel weight force exerted by the counterweight, at least partially to a resultant measured weight force; determining the measured weight force at at least two points in time; and determining the flow rate of the process gas using the measured weight force determined at the at least two points in time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Michael Buchner, Heribert Kammerstetter
