Abstract:
The present invention provides a monitoring apparatus for an outlet of a vessel storing gas under pressure. The monitoring apparatus comprises a flow control valve movable to a position between a fully open position and a fully closed position to adjust a flow of gas from the outlet of the vessel, a valve position detector connected to the flow control valve to detect the position of the flow control valve, an internal pressure sensor to sense an internal pressure P int (t) of the gas in the vessel at different times, a processor, a memory and an alarm. The processor calculates an actual rate of change in pressure dP int /dt of the gas in the vessel over time, and compares dP int /dt with an expected rate of change.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of monitoring flow of a gas according to  claim 18 , further comprising manually disabling the alarm signal (s).
