Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for obtaining the position of a counter wheel (1) in a wheel counter mechanism, in terms of capacity. SOLUTION: The device is provided with fixing electrodes (3 and 3') at a certain distance from the counter wheel (1). A series of measurement electrodes (12, 12' and 12") are extended onto the outer periphery of the counter wheel (1) and non-conductive sections (13 and 13') are electrically arranged among the measurement electrodes. Then high or low, i.e., the binary value of zero or one is detected concerning each position of the counter wheel and each fixing electrode. The binary expression of an optionally desired number which expresses the present position of the counter wheel (1) is formed by combining the binary values through the use of the number of the fixing electrodes for each counter wheel.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flow-rate measuring method, for a flow medium (M), in which defects of a ultrasonic measuring method is removed, and to provide a flowmeter. SOLUTION: A photoacoustic effect is used to measure the flow rate of the flow medium (M), especially a natural gas. A light emitter (1) is used to generate sound waves (S) detected by a sound detector (2), inside the flow medium (M). The light emitter (1) is not exposed to the flow medium (M) so much, as compared with a diaphragm which is used in the ultrasonic measuring method.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an apparatus whose structure is simple and solid and by which the filling level can be measured with good vertical spatial resolution by a method wherein a rod-shaped light-conducting scintillator is attached so as to face a plurality of γ-radiators and γ-rays are detected by photodetectors at one end or both ends of the scintillator. SOLUTION: γ-rays 5 from a plurality of γ-radiators 2 which are arranged vertically are made parallel by an output collimator 3 so as to be passed through a medium 6 to be measured (e.g. water 6a, oil 6b), and a scintillation light flash 11 is generated inside a scintillator 10 at a prescribed response probability. The light flash 11 is divided into two light components by the scintillator 10 so as to be detected at both ends of the scintillator 10. Then, the generation place of the light flash 11 is decided on the basis of the difference in the propagation time between both signals so as to discriminate the γ-radiator 2 as a cause. Then, by making use of a fact that γ-absorption depends strongly on the density of the medium 6, the difference in the density between, e.g. the water 6a and the oil 6b is detected, the medium 6 through which the γ-rays are passed is decided, and the density profile of the medium 6 inside a separator tank is displayed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring gas consumption by means of a gas meter (1). A gas meter (1) comprising a thermal flow sensor (1a) for determining mass flow signals (SM) and a calibrating device used as an energy measuring appliance for emitting energy value signals (SE) is known. According to the invention, a gas type is determined by the gas meter (1) insofar as combustible and non-combustible gas mixtures (3) are differentiated. For a non-combustible gas mixture (3), the gas meter (1) is operated with calibration in mass units or units of volume under standard conditions (1/min), and for a combustible gas mixture (3), with calibration in energy units (kWh). Forms of embodiment include, inter alia, the measurement of a parameter (lambda, alpha, c, eta) of the gas (3) in order to determine the gas type; a gas quality sensor (1a) with the same structure as the thermal flow sensor (1a); and longer measuring intervals for a non-combustible gas (3) and shorter measuring intervals for a combustible gas (3). The advantages of the invention are, inter alia, reliable energy measurement as a result of the automatic differentiation between a non-accountable gas (3) and a high-quality useful gas (3); recognition of manipulation attempts; and automatic calorific value tracking even without calorific value measurement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (1) for measuring density profile using gamma rays (5), which is particularly suitable for measuring the level in oil separator tanks. The known measuring principle involves conducting locally resolved measurement of a density-dependent gamma ray transmission of a medium (6a, 6b, 6c) by a vertical linear array (13) of photomultipliers( 7) and using said measurement to determine the location of an oil/water (6c) boundary layer. According to the invention, the gamma ray density sensor (1) is equipped with PIN photodiodes (10) instead of photomultipliers (7). Means for passive cooling for said photodiodes (10) are also provided. This considerably simplifies the structure, operation and maintenance of the sensor and improves local resolution and service life of the sensor (1). Passive cooling can be easily realized by building a thermal bridge (12) between the warm photodiodes (10) and the cool ambient medium or the cool wall (14) of the separator tank. Usability of the sensor (1) under difficult operating conditions and in non-easily accessible locations is generally improved.

Abstract: Determining a gas mixture consumption comprises calibrating a gas meter as the energy measuring device, where the calibration is based on a base gas mixture; and multiplying the measured energy consumption value with a correcting factor which considers the calorific value of the gas mixture. The calorific value is determined by an external unit. An Independent claim is also included for the gas meter used in the process. Preferred Features: Sensor signal values are determined for the calibration depending on the flow rate of a calibrating gas, and stored in the gas meter. The calibrating gas is air or oxygen.
