Abstract
This disclosure describes an apparatus that includes a housing configured to be attached to an external equipment; a pressure valve configured to pressurize an enclosure within the housing when attached to the external equipment; a proximity probe disposed within the housing such that at least a tip of the proximity probe is within the enclosure; a moveable component disposed within the enclosure opposite to the tip of the proximity probe; and a target placed on the moveable component opposite to the tip of the proximity probe.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing configured to be attached to an external equipment;
- a pressure valve configured to pressurize an enclosure within the housing when attached to the external equipment;
- a proximity probe disposed within the housing such that at least a tip of the proximity probe is within the enclosure;
- a moveable component disposed within the enclosure opposite to the tip of the proximity probe;
- and
- a target placed on the moveable component opposite to the tip of the proximity probe.
A method comprising:
- receiving direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) measurements from a proximity probe of a pressure measurement device attached to an industrial equipment, wherein a gas or fluid medium flows through the industrial equipment;
- and
- converting the DC and AC measurements to static pressure and dynamic pressure pulsation measurements of the medium flowing through the industrial equipment.
A system comprising:
- a housing configured to be attached to an external equipment;
- a pressure valve configured to pressurize an enclosure within the housing when attached to the external equipment;
- a proximity probe disposed within the housing such that at least a tip of the proximity probe is within the enclosure;
- a moveable component disposed within the enclosure opposite to the tip of the proximity probe;
- a target placed on the moveable component opposite to the tip of the proximity probe;
- and
- one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) measurements from the proximity probe, wherein a gas or fluid medium flows through the external equipment;
- and
- converting the DC and AC measurements to static pressure and dynamic pressure pulsation measurements of the medium flowing through the external equipment.
