Title: Process and apparatus for the determination of the electrical conductivity of liquid
IPC: G01N27/04
Filed: 1966-02-28
Abstract: 1,080,444. Electrical conductivity measuring apparatus. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N. V. Feb. 28, 1966 [March 1, 1965], No. 8798/66. Heading G1N. The electrical conductivity of a liquid of high specific resistance, e.g. a hydrocarbon, is measured by applying a D.C. voltage, determined by the electrical conductivity of the liquid, to one or more elements in an A. C. circuit whose impedances are determined by the D. C. voltage, to provide an A. C. voltage whose amplitude is a function of the conductivity of the liquid. A conductivity cell 13, Fig.1, comprising two coaxial cylindrical electrodes (21, 22), Fig. 2 (not shown), between which the liquid flows, is connected across the terminals 14, 15 of a D. C. supply, one electrode being connected directly to the terminal 15, the other to an output terminal 12 of an A.C. bridge 2, and also through a resistor 20 and a recording and/or indicating meter 19 to the other terminal 14. The bridge 2 forms part of an oscillator consisting of an A. C. amplifier 1, whose input terminals are connected to the output 12 of the bridge, through a capacitance 16, and to the earthed output 11 of the bridge. The output of the amplifier is fed to the primary winding of a transformer 10, whose output winding 17 is connected, through a full-wave rectifier 18, to the meter 19. A second output winding 9 forms part of a feedback loop coupled to the input terminals 7, 8 of the bridge, to ensure that the amplifier acts as an oscillator. The bridge has two resistive arms 5, 6, of which the latter is variable, and two capacitative arms 3, 4, each of which includes a semi-conducting diode whose depletion capacitance depends on the D.C. voltage applied. In operation, changes in potential at the output terminal 12 of the bridge, due to changes in the resistance of the cell 13, change the voltages across the capacitances 3, 4 in different senses thereby upsetting the balance of the bridge, originally arranged to be out of balance by adjustment of the resistor 6. The frequency of the oscillator depends on the components of the feedback loop and the amplitude of oscillation is determined by the degree of unbalance of the bridge and therefore by the resistivity (or conductivity) of the liquid in the cell 13, which is indicated on the meter 19. The cell is constructed so that the part of the circuit indicated above the arrow A can be encapsulated in the space (27) inside the inner electrode (22), the ends of the cell being closed by insulation (25, 26). Three terminals (28) provide connections to the meter 19 and D. C. supply.
