算出する場合の誤差は極めて小さなものとなる。(Function) In the device of the present invention, the flow rate is determined based on the amount of weight reduction. However, since weight measurement can be performed accurately if the environment is kept constant, the flow rate is determined based on the amount of weight reduction. The error in calculation is extremely small.

One end of the is connected. The other end of the injection pipe 3 is connected to the pipe P, and a constant flow type bag [4 is provided in the middle part of the injection pipe 8. The constant flow device 4 is for injecting the tracer gas T into the pipe P at a constant flow rate. As the constant fiEfi device 4, a flow meter using a bridge circuit may be used as in the conventional case, but it is not possible to use a conventional flow rate adjustment valve or the like that can set the flow rate and maintain the set flow rate. Good to have.
伺、容器1内の圧力を、例えばgokg/c−程度の高

ックである。However, if the pressure inside the container 1 is set to a high pressure of, for example, gokg/c-, a throttle valve should be provided in the middle of the injection pipe 3, or
Alternatively, constant flow performance can be obtained by taking measures such as making the injection pipe a itself smaller in diameter, but if you take into account the ease of adjustment and the possibility of a drop in the pressure inside the container 1, Preferably, a flow device is used. Further, 5a is a cock for opening and closing the container 1, and 5b is a cock for blocking the connection between the injection pipe 8 and the piping P.

レーサガスTの流量を容易に求めることができる。Further, a weighing scale 6 is provided below the container 1 connected to the pipe P. The 1u weight meter 6 places the container 1 on it, measures the weight of the container 1 at regular intervals (for example, 0.8 seconds), and sends the measured value to the recorder 7 connected to the ft-1m meter 6. It is designed to be output. The recorder 7 integrates the output values from the weight scale 6 and records changes in the weight of the container 1 at predetermined intervals (for example, from 1 second to 60 seconds). The amount of change in the weight of container 1 indicates the amount of decrease in tracer gas T, and from this value F
The flow rate of the laser gas T can be easily determined.

うに配慮している。It would be more convenient to use a recorder that converts the amount of weight change into the flow rate of the tracer gas T and records it. Further, a vibration-proof mat 8 is provided at the bottom of the weighing scale 6 to prevent the precision of the weighing scale 6 from decreasing due to external vibrations.

る。Further, a removable windproof cover 9 is provided around the container 1 and the weighing scale 6. The windproof cover 9 is provided to prevent the container 1 and the scale 6 from being affected by wind. When there is wind, that is, movement of air around the container 1, the density of the air around the container 1 changes, which changes the buoyancy force that the container 1 receives. This will affect the weight of 51. Furthermore, the weight may also be affected by the wind pressure applied to the container 1.

.41流量が3Nj/minの場合の誤差は最大17.
9%にも達し、風の影響を無視できないことがわかる。In other words, when SF6 gas is used as the tracer gas T and injection is performed outdoors at a wind speed of 5 to 10 IIL/S, the error is at most 5 when the flow rate is 1 ONt/min.
.. 41 When the flow rate is 3Nj/min, the maximum error is 17.
It reaches 9%, which shows that the influence of wind cannot be ignored.
そこで、容器1及び重量計6の周囲に防風カバー9を設
けるのは効果的である。Therefore, it is effective to provide a windproof cover 9 around the container 1 and the weight scale 6.

するにつれて、容器1内部での急冷現象は加速度的に進
行する。Furthermore, when the flow rate of the tracer gas T is large, the ejection speed of the tracer gas from the container 1 becomes large.
A rapid cooling phenomenon occurs inside the container 1 due to the rapid adiabatic expansion of the tracer gas T itself and the heat of evaporation when the liquefied gas vaporizes. Therefore, as the gas capacity within the container 1 decreases, the rapid cooling phenomenon inside the container 1 progresses at an accelerated pace.

尚、前記防風カバー9及び加熱器10は、状況や条件に
応じて設置すればよく、常時設置する必要はない。As a result, moisture in the gas solidifies and adheres to the nozzle /l/ (not shown) of the container 1, leading to an unstable condition such as a decrease in the flow rate of the tracer gas. This phenomenon naturally causes an error in the set flow rate of the tracer gas, and does not affect the measurement accuracy of the gas flow rate, so it is desirable to prevent it. Therefore, if necessary, a radiant heater 10, for example, is provided as a heating device around the container 1. For example, when SF6 gas is used as a tracer gas, this heater 10 may be an electric heater of about 600 to 1200W.The windproof cover 9 and heater 10 may be installed depending on the situation and conditions. Often, it does not need to be installed all the time.

きた。(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the present invention, the flow rate of the tracer gas is measured by the change in the weight of the tracer gas in the container, so it can be measured very accurately. for example,
The measurement error with conventional flowmeters was about 2%, but
The error by the apparatus of the present invention could be suppressed to 0.8% or less.
また、容器及び1i量計を防風カバーによって覆えるも

Encourage improvement.
