Patent CA-2813735-A1 (CA)
Title: Self-supporting tank liner
Inventor: RUSSELL DAVID D
IPC: B65D88/76
Filed: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A liner, a double-walled tank including such a liner, and a method for retrofitting or creating such a liner wherein the liner is designed to be self-supporting. Specifically, the liner is formed by adding structures to the inner surface of an existing single- walled or double walled tank which project from the inner surface of the tank into the internal volume. The combination of the surfaces of the structures and the remaining inner surfaces of the tank form a modified inner surface which then has a liner placed adjacent thereto. The liner is hardened or other fixed in form to provide for an internal liner which retains negatives of the shapes of the structures and is capable of resisting deformation should the original tank be removed and the liner be filled with material that originally would occupy the tank.
Patent CA-2814920-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NELSON DARRELL
IPC: G01F1/06
Filed: 2013-05-02
Abstract: In a flow meter, a rotor support body carries a paddlewheel rotor in an operational position exposed to a through-flow bore of a flow meter housing. A    sensor unit is operable to detect rotation of the rotor and provide output responsive to same for use by a monitoring system in determining a flow rate of fluid passing through the housing. The support body and the sensor unit are removable from the housing, for inspection, service, repair or replacement independently of the housing, with the sensor unit being removable independently of the support body for improved serviceability. The rotor is carried on a support shaft with a reduced diameter portion for contact-free rotation of the rotor around this reduced diameter portion, reducing an area of the shaft over which tight machining tolerances are required to prevent ingress of particulate matter that can lead to inaccurate flow measurements and increased wear rates.
