Title: Pipeline lubricator
Inventor: MURRAY ALASTAIR
IPC: B65G53/52
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: A pipeline lubricator 1 for lubricating material flow in a pipeline, comprising a pipe 2 having a portion with an internal diameter substantially the same as the pipeline internal diameter and an enlarged portion 4 to closely receive a cylindrical sleeve 6.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To measure the tension of a filament by giving a mechanical shock to the filament, and measuring the period of the alternating part of the current of an anode which is generated due to the natural vibration of the filament. CONSTITUTION:After a mechanical shock is given to a filament 1, which is fixed so that it has spring effect, from the outside of the filament so as to generate vibrations 1' and 1'', a filament voltage Ef and a positive voltage Eb are applied to the filament 1 and an anode respectively. Then, the period of alternating part of a positive current (pulsating flow) generated in the anode is passed through an amplifier 7, and is measured by means of a frequency measuring equipment 8 such as a frequency counter or an oscilloscope. Consequently, the natural vibration of the filament 1 can be measured simply with high accuracy.
