MEASURING LEVELS OF VOLATILE FLUIDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18435489 titled 'MEASURING LEVELS OF VOLATILE FLUIDS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a vertical tubular with multiple valves that define actuable passages fluidically connected to a measuring chamber. The valves are positioned at different heights along the tubular, and each valve serves a specific function in controlling the flow of fluid in and out of the measuring chamber.

  • The vertical tubular defines a measurement chamber.
  • A first valve is located closer to the upper end of the tubular and defines a first actuable passage connected to the measuring chamber.
  • A second valve is located closer to the lower end of the tubular and defines a second actuable passage connected to the measuring chamber.
  • A third valve is vertically aligned with the first valve on the opposite side of the tubular and defines a third actuable passage connected to the measuring chamber.
  • A fourth valve defines a fourth actuable passage connected to the measuring chamber.
  • Flanges are present at each end of the vertical tubular.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical processing for precise measurement and control of fluids.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately measuring and controlling the flow of fluids in a vertical tubular system.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in fluid measurement, better control over fluid flow, and potential cost savings through efficient fluid management.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vertical tubular defines a measurement chamber. A first valve is nearer an upper end of the vertical tubular than a lower end of the vertical tubular. The first valve defines a first actuable passage fluidically connected to the measuring chamber. A second is valve nearer the lower end of the vertical tubular than the upper end of the vertical tubular. The second valve defines a second actuable passage fluidically connected to the measuring chamber. A third valve is vertically aligned with the first valve. The third valve is on an opposite side of the vertical tubular from the first valve. The third valve defines a third actuable passage fluidically connected to the measuring chamber. The fourth valve defines a fourth actuable passage fluidically connected to the measuring chamber. A flange is each end of the vertical tubular.
