Vortex Flowmeter With Signal Processing

View page
US Patent:
6412353, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:
Sep 21, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/400503
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Robert C. Hedtke - Young America MN
David E. Wiklund - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 132
US Classification:
7386122
Abstract:
A vortex sensor senses the vortices generated by a vortex generator. A temperature sensor, disposed at a streamlined body within a flow tube, measures a temperature of fluid carried by the flow tube. A circuit coupled to the vortex sensor and to the temperature sensor creates an output indicative of the flow.

Method For Measuring Fluid Flow

View page
US Patent:
6484590, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Sep 21, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/400562
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Robert C. Hedtke - Young America MN
David E. Wiklund - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 132
US Classification:
7386122
Abstract:
A method for measuring fluid flow includes generating vortices in a fluid and relating the fluid flow to a first set of fluid parameters to obtain a first relationship, and relating the fluid flow to a second set of fluid parameters to obtain a second relationship. The first and second sets of fluid parameters are monitored. A first flow value is calculated from the first set of monitor fluid parameters and the first relationship. The second relationship is adjusted based on the first flow value. The output value is calculated from the second set of monitored fluid parameters and the adjusted second relationship.

Diagnostics For Piezoelectric Sensor

View page
US Patent:
6531884, Mar 11, 2003
Filed:
Aug 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/940329
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01R 2922
US Classification:
324727, 310319
Abstract:
A diagnostic device for testing a piezoelectric sensor includes an AC source configured to apply an AC signal to the piezoelectric sensor at two or more different frequencies. The response of the piezoelectric sensor can be measured and used for diagnostics.

Flow Tube Having A Bonding Layer With A Fluoropolymer Lining

View page
US Patent:
6539981, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
Sep 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/717995
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Brad L. Lesmeister - Eagan MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
F16L 914
US Classification:
138143, 138104, 138146, 7386112, 7386115, 427447, 427456, 427233, 427234, 427236
Abstract:
A flow tube has a metal outer tube and is lined with an ETFE fluoropolymer that is resistant to corrosive chemicals and mechanical damage even at high temperatures. The inner surface of the metal tube is coated with a bonding metal that can be securely bonded to the outer metal tube and also forms a strong bond with ETFE fluoropolymer. After the bonding metal has been applied, a layer of a desired thickness of the ETFE fluoropolymer is molded in place to form an inner liner for the flow tube.

Process Flow Plate With Temperature Measurement Feature

View page
US Patent:
6543297, Apr 8, 2003
Filed:
Sep 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/395688
Inventors:
Lowell Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 137
US Classification:
7386152, 7386161
Abstract:
A differential flow plate insertable into a flow path including a flow interrupter extending about an outer periphery of the flow path forming a constricted flow opening and a temperature sensor channel disposed proximate to the flow interrupter.

Process Flow Device With Improved Pressure Measurement Feature

View page
US Patent:
6622573, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
Nov 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/005460
Inventors:
Lowell Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 134
US Classification:
7386142
Abstract:
A flow device including a differential flow plate insertable into a flow path between pipe sections including a flow conduit supporting a flow interrupter and differential pressure taps. The flow conduit including a seamless interface between the flow interrupter and the pressure taps to reduce non-attributable pressure loss between differential pressure taps as well as reduce field installation labor including that of pressure testing the various pressure couplings.

Process Transmitter With Orthogonal-Polynomial Fitting

View page
US Patent:
6643610, Nov 4, 2003
Filed:
Sep 24, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/405196
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Ahmed H. Tewfik - Edina MN
Assignee:
Rosemount Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 134
US Classification:
702183, 702 45, 702138, 702140
Abstract:
A transmitter for measuring a process variable includes a sensor configured to couple to a process and having a sensor output related to the process variable. A microprocessor coupled to the sensor output provides a process variable output which is a function of an orthogonal-polynomial of the sensor output. A transmitter output is configured to provide an output related to the process variable.

Ancillary Process Outputs Of A Vortex Flowmeter

US Patent:
6651512, Nov 25, 2003
Filed:
Sep 21, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/399707
Inventors:
Lowell A. Kleven - Eden Prairie MN
Robert C. Hedtke - Young America MN
Assignee:
Rosemount, Inc. - Eden Prairie MN
International Classification:
G01F 132
