Abstract

A method measures electrical impedance of electromagnetic flowmeter sensing electrodes includes intermittently injecting an impedance measurement signal to at least one sensing electrode while a coil excitation drive signal is applied to flowmeter field generating coils. During a first interval, when the coil excitation drive signal is applied to the coils and the impedance measurement signal is injected to a sensing electrode, a first measurement signal is obtained. The first measurement signal includes an electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal and an electrode impedance measurement signal. During a second interval, when the coil excitation drive signal is applied to the coils but the impedance measurement signal is not injected to the sensing electrodes, a second measurement signal is obtained that includes an electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal. The first and second measurement signals combine into an output signal including the electrode impedance measurement signal without the electromagnetically induced flow measurement signal.

Abstract

A method and apparatus are for processing a periodic data-carrying signal to reduce periodic interference at either of a first fundamental frequency or a second fundamental frequency, the second fundamental frequency being different from the first fundamental frequency. The periodic data-carrying signal is derived from an excitation signal having an excitation frequency, the excitation frequency being a sub-multiple of the first fundamental frequency. The data-carrying signal is subjected to both a comb filter to reject interference at the first fundamental frequency, and an averaging/integrating filter to reject interference at the second fundamental frequency. A comb filter delay period is related to the first fundamental frequency and the averaging/integrating filter averages or integrates over a period related to the second fundamental frequency.

Abstract

A conductivity sensor is described in which electrodes are held in a desired position within a housing of the sensor by a number of slots accurately positioned within the housing. In one embodiment the slots are integrally formed within the housing. Once the electrodes have been inserted into the slots a thermoset resin is poured into the housing and cured. A through bore is then drilled through the housing, the electrodes and the cured resin to form a flow conduit through the sensor. A dual frequency excitation technique is also described that allows a measurement to be obtained of a polarization resistance of the electrodes. In one embodiment this measurement is stored and used to correct subsequent conductivity measurements.

The flow meter also includes a single coil for generating a magnetic field across the measuring section and electrodes for detecting induced electrical potential due to the fluid passage. The flow meter also includes means for conditioning the flow through the measuring section. The combination of the single coil and the flow conditioning means provides a flow meter with a desired level of accuracy. The single coil and the electrodes may be arranged so that the integral of a weight function, which defines the sensitivity of the flow meter to fluid velocity through different parts of the measuring section, over the first half of a measuring section closest to the coil is between 0.4 and 1.3 times the integral of the weight function over the other half of the measuring section.
