ACOUSTIC FLOWMETERS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

Vibration-based flowmeters are useable in inaccessible nuclear reactor spaces. Pipe-organ-type flowmeters include a passage with an opening constricted, and subsequent widening section. An extension and outlet that create turbulence in the flow at the outlet create a standing wave and vibration in t...

Zusammenfassung:	Vibration-based flowmeters are useable in inaccessible nuclear reactor spaces. Pipe-organ-type flowmeters include a passage with an opening constricted, and subsequent widening section. An extension and outlet that create turbulence in the flow at the outlet create a standing wave and vibration in the extension and/or entire flowmeter. A flow rate of the fluid through the flowmeter can be calculated using length of the passage and/or known properties of the fluid. Multiple flowmeters of customized physical properties and types are useable together.
