Abstract

A saturation meter for use in a pressurized water reactor plant comprising a differential pressure transducer having a first and second pressure sensing means and an alarm. The alarm is connected to the transducer and is preset to activate at a level of saturation prior to the formation of a steam void in the reactor vessel.

Diffusion hydrogen meter

Patent Roy, P.; Sandusky, D.W.; Hartle, R.T.

A diffusion tube hydrogen meter for improving the sensitivity and response time for the measurement of hydrogen in liquid sodium is described. The improved hydrogen meter has a composite membrane composed of pure nickel sleeve fitted, for example, over a 2/sup 1///sub 4/ Cr-1 Mo steel or niobium diffusion tube. Since the hydrogen permeation rate through 2/sup 1///sub 4/ Cr-1 Mo steels is a factor of four higher than pure nickel, and the permeation rate of hydrogen through niobium is two orders of magnitude greater than the 2/sup 1///sub 4/ Cr-1 Mo steel, this results in a decrease in responsemore »« less
Compensated count-rate circuit for radiation survey meter

Patent Todd, R.A.

A count-rate compensating circuit is provided which may be used in a portable Geiger-Mueller (G-M) survey meter to ideally compensate for couting loss errors in the G-M tube detector. In a G-M survey meter, wherein the pulse rate from the G-M tube is converted into a pulse rate current applied to a current meter calibrated to indicate dose rate, the compensation circuit generates and controls a reference voltage in response to the rate of pulses from the detector. This reference voltage is gated to the current-generating circuit at a rate identical to the rate of pulses coming from the detectormore »« less
Long-term meter-recorder for solar cell output power

Patent Kawano, A.; Tachizawa, H.

A low power consumption solar cell meter-recorder capable of measuring the output power of a solar cell and recording the measured data and the date of measurement, all at a remote location using only battery power, is disclosed. The voltage output of the solar cell is converted into a frequency which is counted over a predetermined time to produce the measured data. The measured data is stored in a first address section of a memory. Digital date information is generated and stored in a second address section of the memory. Both the first and the second address sections are addressedmore »« less
Rotary flow meter

Patent Basham, E.R.; Cmelik, H.R.

An impeller is rotatably mounted in a housing on the lower end of a sub which is lowered by means of a wire line into a bore hole. The fluid flow in either direction within the bore hole engages and rotates helical vanes of the impeller, which in turn rotates a digital sensing device. A magnetic coupling links the impeller to the sensing device which is sealably secured within the housing. Rotation of the sensing device in one direction produces a digital output signal which is distinguishable from the output signal produced when the sensing device is rotated in themore »« less
