Method for measuring the pressure and/or molar mass of a gas in a housing, and corresponding measurement assembly

The sensor has a piezo-electric type transducer (5) generating an acoustic excitation signal to vibrate a cylindrical enclosure (1) i.e. fuel rod, and radioactive tracer gas (2) e.g. helium, and detecting an acoustic characteristics response signal of vibration of the enclosure and gas. An electrica...

Zusammenfassung:The sensor has a piezo-electric type transducer (5) generating an acoustic excitation signal to vibrate a cylindrical enclosure (1) i.e. fuel rod, and radioactive tracer gas (2) e.g. helium, and detecting an acoustic characteristics response signal of vibration of the enclosure and gas. An electrical system (8) excites the transducer and analyzes the response signal. Transmission frequency bands of the signals have a width of 25 percentage of f0 that is a free vibration frequency of a wall (10) at which the sensor is coupled, during measurement of a gas physical parameter e.g. molar mass. An independent claim is also included for a method of measuring a physical parameter of a gas in an enclosure.
