Abstract:
An arrangement for detecting metallic particles carried by a fluid includes an elongated single turn coil (12) which surrounds an elongated passage (11) through which the fluid flows and has a length as considered in the longitudinal direction of the passage (11) that is at least equal to the diameter of the coil (12). Two longitudinally extending portions (13, 14) of the coil (12) delimit a gap (15) which extends along the passage (11) and completely physically separates the portions (13, 14). At least one capacitor (16) is arranged directly at the gap (15) and is electrically connected between the portions (13, 14) to form an electronic resonator circuit with the coil (12). The resonator circuit (12, 16) is driven at all times at its resonant frequency as influenced by the presence of metallic particles in the passage (11) and the operating temperature. The inductance to capacitance ratio of the resonator circuit (15, 16) has the value of at most one to four.
Abstract:
A computer (21) processes the time between ultrasonic echoes received at a transducer (19) indicative of the outer radius and wall thickness of a workpiece (10) by subtracting (69) the weighted average (80-90) wall thickness from the weighted average outer radius to generate an internal radius for a large number of points around a spiral slice of the workpiece. The internal radii and angles are converted (69) to x and y coordinates. The centroid (X, Y) of each slice of data indicating workpiece cavity internal radii is determined (71) as twice the summation of the x coordinates and twice the summation of the y coordinates of all of the datum points of the slice. The least squares fit (73) of the X coordinates of the centroids of all of the slices and the least squares fit (74) of the Y coordinates of the centroids of all of the slices are then used to determine the average axis of the cavity of the workpiece. The X &cir& NOt and Y &cir& NOt coordinates of the end points of the average axis of the cavity are then converted (75) to polar coordinates to permit offsetting the end points of the workpiece commensurate amounts, whereby further machining will cause the internal cavity of the workpiece to end up more nearly centrally located, on average.

Abstract:
L'agencement décrit, qui sert à détecter la présence de particules métalliques portées par un fluide comprend une bobine allongée à un seul enroulement (12), qui entoure un passage allongé (11) dans lequel s'écoule le fluide et dont la longueur considérée dans le sens longitudinal du passage (11), est au moins égale au diamètre de la bobine (12). Deux parties s'étendant longitudinalement (13, 14) de la bobine (12) délimitent un espace libre (15) qui s'étend le long du passage (11) et qui sépare physiquement complètement les deux parties (13, 14). Au moins un condensateur (16) est disposé directement dans l'espace libre (15) et est connecté électriquement entre les parties (13, 14) pour former avec la bobine (12) un circuit de résonateur électronique. Le circuit de résonateur (12, 16) est excité à sa fréquence de résonance, telle qu'elle est influencée par la présence de particules métalliques dans le passage (11) et par la température de fonctionnement. Le rapport inductance/capacitance du circuit du résonateur (15, 16) a une valeur maximale égale à 1/4.
