Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Measurement of the Level and Flow of Liquids.
Inventor: SHOTTER GEORGE FREDERICK
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 1911-07-25
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 17,044. Shotter, G. F. July 25. Resistances, liquid. An apparatus for electrically indicating the level of water or other liquid comprises fixed vertical electrodes so arranged that the resistance of the liquid between them varies with the level to be measured, and compensating - electrodes which neutralize the effect of polarization &c., the reading being given by an ohm-meter or similar instrument. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the inner electrode D (cathode) is of carbon. The outer electrode C is of metal gauze and serves also as the compensating anode. The compensating cathode B is separated from the main cathode D by an insulating- slab E, which extends completely across the apparatus. This form is particularly suitable for measuring the flow of water by means of a notch and the exposed area of the electrodes may for that purpose be screened by a suitablyshaped shield, in order that the conductance of the instrument may be directly proportional to. the flow of liquid. Alternatively, the anode may consist of platinum wires C, C<1>, Fig. 3, the main cathode of a copper wire D, and the supplementary cathode of a piece of gauze B partitioned off by the celluloid screen S. The path of the current is then restricted by a celluloid cover R. The apparatus may be used for indicating pressures related to the level of the liquid in which it is immersed. Resistances, measuring. - One form of ohmmeter for indicating the resistance is shown in Fig. 4, where the compensating resistance B C is in series with two coils P P<1> at right-angles, and the varying resistance C D with a coil O in line with P<1>. A magnetic needle controlled by the three coils indicates the resistance of C D or some dependent quantity, independently of the electromotive force of the source of current N.

Angular bending; bending-dies; forging-dies. -In forming the halves or other portions of U-tubes for superheaters and the like a die coacts with a mandrel which is rotatable to allow the tube to be removed after bending. The die is formed in two parts A, B, Fig. 2, hinged at C and held in the closed position by two arms F, which are recessed to fit on pivot pins E on the die. The arms are formed on the member H which carries the mandrel D, and are held by a key M passing through slots G. The inclined end L of the tube is heated and introduced into the die, and a few blows are then struck against the other end of the tube. The distance between the surface of the mandrel and the die may be made greater than the thickness of the tube, so that the tube is thickened during the operation to increase the resistance of the tube to burning &c. The crown is thickened by forming a space such as N. The mandrel is rotated on the pivots E when the tube is completed to facilitate removal. The limbs are welded together after bending. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the ends of the tube may be united by welding or other means, and that the die parts may be provided with a number of recesses so as to enable two or more tube ends to be prepared simultaneously.
