Zusammenfassung: | The volume measuring device ( 9 ) is a linear solenoid-based piston-type device designed to measure the separate gaseous ( 12 ) and non-gaseous ( 11 ) volumes of a di-phasic mixture within a vessel ( 10 ). The invention is attached to a vessel containing the materials as illustrated in FIG. 9 , and effects a small change in volume of the gaseous fraction of material in the vessel. During each solenoid piston ( 5 ) stroke the invention takes a continual series of measurements. By applying a technique derived from Boyle's Law and other algorithms the invention determines the volume of the gaseous fraction of material within the vessel. The volume of the non-gaseous fraction is determined by subtracting the gaseous volume from the known volume of the vessel. Significantly, there is no requirement for knowledge of the absolute pressure or temperature. |
