Abstract:
An electrical capacitance volume tomography sensor for use in high temperature, high pressure applications for measuring or imaging a flow within the sensor, the sensor comprising an outer pressure vessel, a plurality of electrodes placed within the outer pressure vessel, a plurality of threaded studs, wherein one of the threaded studs is attached to one of the plurality of electrodes, a coating or layer is placed on the plurality of electrodes for electrically isolating the plurality of electrodes, a plurality of holes in the outer pressure vessel for allowing terminal connections to the plurality of electrodes within the outer pressure vessel, wherein each of the plurality of holes accepts one of the plurality of threaded studs, and a plurality of gaskets, where one gasket is placed at each of the plurality of holes to seal the pressure at each of the holes in the outer pressure vessel by placing one gasket concentric around one threaded stud and conforming each gasket between a back of an electrode and the inside wall of the pressure vessel by tightening each of the plurality of nuts on each of the threaded studs.
