  • Publication number: 20090188328
    Abstract: A measurement device comprises: a container 1 including an aperture 6a; a lining 2 applied to an inner surface of the container 1; an electrode 3 provided in the aperture, and a spring 7 biasing the electrode 3 in a direction from the inside to the outside of the container 1. The electrode 3 includes: an electrode head 3a; an anchor 4 formed on an outer peripheral portion of the electrode head 3a; an electrode shaft 3b formed integrally with the electrode head 3a; and an electrode tapered portion 5 tapered with its diameter gradually reduced from the anchor 4 to the electrode shaft so as to fit in the aperture. The electrode 3 is inserted from the inside of the container 1 so as to expose a part of the electrode shaft 3b out of the container 1.

  • Publication number: 20090178489
    Abstract: An electromagnetic flow meter has a pipe body 16 in which a measurement target fluid flows. The pipe body 16 includes: a measurement pipe 1 having a groove 3 whose cross-section is any of a semicircular shape, a rectangular shape, and a triangular shape formed on an inner surface in a circumferential direction; and a resin lining portion 10a formed on the inner surface of the measurement pipe.

  • Patent number: 6802223
    Abstract: The invention consists in a capacitative electromagnetic flow meter in which excitation is performed at a frequency above the commercially available frequency and having a characteristic correction filter that corrects the gain frequency characteristic of the exciting current such that the exciting flux waveform has a flat section. In the detection unit, the value of the electrostatic capacitance between the face electrodes 4A, 4B and guard electrodes 5A, 5B is made smaller than the value of the electrostatic capacitance between the detecting face electrodes 4A, 4B and the fluid to be measured. The exciting coils are fixed to a cylindrical yoke, being electrostatically screened by coil fixing plates. Fixing by an earth ring is performed with this cylindrical yoke and the two ends of the measurement tube being symmetrical with respect to the tube axis and electrode axes. In addition, fixing is effected by filling the entire interior of the detection unit with epoxy resin.

  • Patent number: 5385055
    Abstract: An electromagnetic flowmeter comprises a cylindrical support. A pair of coils are positioned at the outer surface of the cylindrical support, spaced approximately 180.degree. apart. The cylindrical support is coaxially mounted within a cylindrical magnetic path, which defines a space for the coils between the magnetic path and the cylindrical support. The magnetic path has two ends, each engaged by a flange. The flanges include bosses, which together with the cylindrical support and magnetic path serve to position the coils. A conduit is mounted within the support, and a housing encloses the support, the coils, and the conduit. The length of the housing is greater than the length of the conduit, defining a gap between the housing and the conduit.
