A NOVEL APPROACH TO IMPROVE DIVERTER PERFORMANCE IN LIQUID FLOW CALIBRATION FACILITIES

R. Engel, U. Klages

Abstract

A diverting device (diverter) is an essential and error determining component part of a liquid flow calibration facility based upon a static gravimetric system with flying start and finish. The diverter timing error can be considerably reduced by the use of an angular encoding transducer in combination with an appropriate electronic and storage device. Further benefits in diverter performance can be obtained by an electric diverter actuator.
