Abstract

An apparatus for measuring and monitoring a change in the dimension of a sample being heated by microwave energy is described. The apparatus comprises a microwave heating device for heating a sample by microwave energy, a microwave compatible dilatometer for measuring and monitoring a change in the dimension of the sample being heated by microwave energy without leaking microwaves out of the microwave heating device, and a temperature determination device for measuring and monitoring the temperature of the sample being heated by microwave energy. 2 figs.

Variable frequency microwave furnace system

Patent Bible, D W; Lauf, R J

A variable frequency microwave furnace system designed to allow modulation of the frequency of the microwaves introduced into a furnace cavity for testing or other selected applications. The variable frequency microwave furnace system includes a microwave signal generator or microwave voltage-controlled oscillator for generating a low-power microwave signal for input to the microwave furnace. A first amplifier may be provided to amplify the magnitude of the signal output from the microwave signal generator or the microwave voltage-controlled oscillator. A second amplifier is provided for processing the signal output by the first amplifier. The second amplifier outputs the microwave signal inputmore »« less
Dilatometer

Patent

A dilatometer mountable to the exterior surface of pressurized pipe to measure small pressure variations within the pipe is described. The dilatometer includes two rigid beams tied together by nonextensible tensile members on opposite sides of the pipe. One member includes a strain gauge mounted to a strain gauge plate. Dilation of the pipe distends the beams, stressing the gauge plate. The strain is physically magnified on the gauge plate due to its position at the end of the beams and in direct proportion to overall diametral variation of the pipe due to pressure fluctuations.
