Abstract
A gage mechanism for determining the level of a liquid, comprising a measuring means joined to a liquid level indicating device, a floating stilling chamber circumscribing the periphery of the liquid level indicating device, said stilling chamber having walls extending above wave action of the liquid, and vertical guide means for controlling lateral movement of the chamber at all levels at which the liquid level is to be measured.
Claims16
A gage mechanism for determining the level of a liquid, comprising:
- a measuring means joined to a liquid level indicating device;
- a floating wave stilling chamber circumscribing the periphery of the liquid level indicating device, said stilling chamber having walls extending above wave action of the liquid, said floating stilling chamber having at least one opening in the top and in the bottom;
- and
- vertical guide means for controlling lateral movement of the chamber at all levels at which the liquid level is to be measured.
A gage mechanism for determining the level of a liquid, comprising:
- a measuring means joined to a gage float which floats on liquid;
- a floating wave stilling chamber circumscribing the periphery of the gage float, said stilling chamber having walls extending above wave action of the liquid, said floating stilling chamber having at least one opening in the top and in the bottom;
- and
- vertical guide means for controlling lateral movement of the chamber at all levels at which the liquid is to be measured.
A tank having a gage mechanism for determining the liquid level in the tank;
- said gage mechanism comprising a measuring means joined to a liquid level indicating device;
- a floating wave stilling chamber circumscribing the periphery of the liquid level indicating device, said stilling chamber having walls extending above wave action of liquid in the tank, said floating stilling chamber having at least one opening in the top and in the bottom, and
- vertical guide means in the tank for controlling lateral movement of the chamber in the tank at all liquid levels in the tank.
A tank having a gage mechanism for determining the liquid level in the tank;
- said gage mechanism comprising a measuring tape joined to a gage float which floats on liquid in the tank;
- a floating stilling chamber circumscribing the periphery of the gage float, said stilling chamber having walls extending above wave action of liquid in the tank, said floating stilling chamber having at least one opening in the top and in the bottom, and
- vertical guide means in the tank for controlling lateral movement of the chamber in the tank at all liquid levels in the tank.
