Title: High percentage water content monitor
Inventor: MAZZAGATTI ROY PASQUAL
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 1982-11-17
Abstract: The monitor is capable of measuring accurately the water content in percent by volume of an oil and brine mixture, where the water content is 80% or more. A housing (3) is adapted to be connected in a pipe through which the oil and brine mixture is flowing, and a sensor (50) is mounted within the housing so that the sensor is suspended in the flowing mixture. The sensor is a resistivity sensor having a transmitter coil (55) and a receiver coil (56) and provides a signal corresponding to the percent by volume of water in the mixture, even when percent by volume of water is 80% or more, in response to an excitation voltage from a source. Indicating apparatus (63) provides an indication of the percent by volume of the water in the oil and brine mixture in accordance with the signal from the sensor. <IMAGE>
