| 20150219480 | SELF-DIAGNOSING DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FLOW METER - An aspect provides a method of metering flow through a fluid conduit having an obstruction therein, including: placing an obstruction body within the conduit; generating at least two differential pressure measurement signals using at least three different pressure ports, said at least three different pressure ports comprising: an upstream pressure port; a downstream pressure port; and an auxiliary pressure port; wherein at least one of the upstream pressure port, the downstream pressure port, and the auxiliary pressure port is positioned at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees with respect to a conduit wall; establishing a baseline relationship between the at least two differential pressure measurement signals; and determining if the baseline relationship between the at least two differential pressure measurement signals differs by a predetermined amount. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 08-06-2015 |
| 20140069209 | ANGLED PORT DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FLOW METER - An aspect provides a flow metering apparatus, comprising: a fluid conduit having a differential pressure producer therein; at least one pressure port angled between 0 and 90 degrees in a wall of the fluid conduit; and at least one other pressure port; wherein the at least one pressure port and the at least one other pressure port provide pressure signals. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140069208 | SELF-DIAGNOSING DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FLOW METER - An aspect provides a method of metering flow through a fluid conduit having an obstruction therein, including: placing an obstruction body within the conduit; generating at least two differential pressure measurement signals using at least three different pressure ports, said at least three different pressure ports comprising: an upstream pressure port; a downstream pressure port; and an auxiliary pressure port; wherein at least one of the upstream pressure port, the downstream pressure port, and the auxiliary pressure port is positioned at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees with respect to a conduit wall; establishing a baseline relationship between the at least two differential pressure measurement signals; and determining if the baseline relationship between the at least two differential pressure measurement signals differs by a predetermined amount. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140069206 | ANGLED INSERT MAGNETIC FLOW METER - An aspect provides a flow metering apparatus, including: a sensor insert body configured to enter a fluid conduit at an angle with respect to a wall of said fluid conduit; at least one electrode mounted on said sensor insert body; and a coil assembly including at least one magnetic coil in said sensor insert body. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20120059602 | METHOD FOR FIELD-MEASURING FLUID FLOW METERS - A method for taking field measurements of a cone type fluid flow meter including a meter body and a cone-type fluid displacement member to determine when to calibrate or replace the fluid flow meter. The method includes taking measurements of dimensions of the fluid displacement member and the meter body, evaluating the dimension measurements and ascertaining whether the dimension measurements are within designated dimension limits. The present method saves significant time and costs by taking measurements in the field determining whether to calibrate or replace the fluid flow meter. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110259119 | TWO-PHASE FLOW METER - An assembly including conduit for conveying a flowable substance having a gas phase and a liquid phase, and a cone-shaped displacement member including an upstream end and a downstream end. A first flow measurement tap communicates with an area at the upstream end, a second flow measurement tap communicates with an area at the downstream end and a third flow measurement tap communicates with an area downstream of the displacement member. A device determines a first differential pressure value based on a flow measurement taken from any two of the first, second and third flow measurement taps and a second differential pressure value based on a flow measurement taken at one different tap. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110162459 | SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR A FLUID FLOWMETER - A sensor assembly for a fluid flowmeter including a body having a hollow interior where the body is configured to have a moisture impermeable barrier that prevents moisture from entering the interior at extreme fluid pressures. The assembly includes at least one electrode that is mounted on the body and a coil assembly configured to be removably inserted in the hollow interior of the body, where the coil assembly includes at least one magnetic coil electrically isolated from the at least one electrode when the coil assembly is inserted into the hollow interior of the body. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20090165566 | Fluid flow meter and mixer - Fluid flow apparatus, such as a fluid flow meter, a fluid mixing device or a fluid dispersing device, includes a fluid displacement member ( | 07-02-2009 |
