Outward-turning type coaxial cylinder viscometer of hollow cylinder type optical fiber Bragg grating

Abstract

The invention provides an outward-turning type coaxial cylinder viscometer of a hollow cylinder type optical fiber Bragg grating, comprising a torsion measurement grating, a temperature compensation grating, an elastic hollow cylinder, an L-shaped temperature compensator, a stator and a viscometer measuring system which is composed of a spectrum analyzer, an ASE light source, a coupler and an optical fiber; the inner wall of the elastic hollow cylinder is pasted with the torsion measurement grating and the L-shaped temperature compensator, a long side of the compensator is pasted with the temperature compensation grating. According to the measured value of torsion and temperature sensitivity difference of the torsion measurement grating and the temperature compensation grating, the compensation of torque measurement disturbed by temperature fluctuation is realized by adopting differential operation, so as to realize accurate measurement of the torque. One end of the optical fiber is respectively connected with the spectrum analyzer and the ASE light source by the coupler, the other end thereof is connected with the optical fiber Bragg grating; wideband laser emitted by the ASE light source enters into the optical fiber Bragg grating, viscosity number is directly read out by wavelength displacement operation through an embedded computer of the analyzer. The sensor is suitable for measuring the viscosity of various fluids.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hollow cylinder type optical fiber Bragg grating external rotation coaxial cylinder viscometer, which belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic measurement. Background technique [0002] Viscosity is a measure of the internal friction that occurs between molecules when a liquid is moved by an external force. At present, the strain sensor commonly used to measure viscosity is a sensor that indirectly measures viscosity by measuring the strain (torque) of various elastic elements. Elastic elements generally have a sheet shape, a rod shape, a wire shape, and a disk shape. Such as Wang Xiaobo, Wu Jiangtao, Liu Zhigang and others published the paper "Improvement of Vibrating Disk Viscometer and Experimental Research on R152a Gas Phase Viscosity" ["Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University", 2008, 42(11)], the elastic element in the paper is torsion wire, The material is titanium-nickel alloy wire. Due to the unique electrical ...
