METERS HAVING NON-CONDUCTING MEASURING CHAMBERS AND METALLIC ENCLOSURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035866 titled 'METERS HAVING NON-CONDUCTING MEASURING CHAMBERS AND METALLIC ENCLOSURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a magnetic meter that includes a flowtube with an inlet and an outlet, as well as a metal enclosure surrounding the flowtube. The metal enclosure is in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet and extends upstream beyond the inlet and downstream beyond the outlet.

  • The magnetic meter is designed to measure the flow of a fluid.
  • The flowtube with an inlet and outlet defines the direction of flow.
  • The metal enclosure surrounds the flowtube and is in fluid communication with it.
  • The metal enclosure extends upstream beyond the inlet and downstream beyond the outlet.
  • The abstract also mentions that there are methods, meters, and a metering system provided, but does not provide further details.

Potential Applications:

  • Industrial processes that require accurate measurement of fluid flow rates.
  • Monitoring and controlling fluid flow in pipelines and distribution systems.
  • Water and wastewater treatment plants to measure the flow of liquids.
  • Oil and gas industry for measuring the flow of hydrocarbons.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a reliable and accurate method for measuring fluid flow rates.
  • Protects the flowtube from external influences that could affect the accuracy of measurements.
  • Ensures that the fluid being measured is contained within the metal enclosure, preventing leaks or contamination.

Benefits:

  • Accurate measurement of fluid flow rates allows for better control and optimization of processes.
  • The metal enclosure provides protection and durability, ensuring long-term performance.
  • The extension of the metal enclosure beyond the inlet and outlet helps to minimize disturbances in the flow, improving measurement accuracy.
  • The magnetic meter can be used in various industries and applications, making it versatile and adaptable.


Original Abstract Submitted

a magnetic meter is provided. the magnetic meter includes a flowtube having an inlet on a first end and an outlet on a second end, the inlet and outlet defining a direction of flow. the magnetic meter also includes a metal enclosure surrounding the flowtube. the metal enclosure is in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet of the flowtube and the metal enclosure extends, in the direction of flow, upstream beyond the inlet on the first end and downstream beyond the outlet on the second end of the flowtube. a method, meters and a metering system are also provided.
