A VIBRATING WIRE VISCOSITY SENSOR

摘要

The present invention recited a method and apparatus for providing at lea st one parameter of a fluid moving through a fluid channel using a vibrating wire in contact with the fluid moving through the fluid channel that is cla mped under tension. The vibrating wire is actuated by an actuating device ca pable of displacing the vibrating wire from an initial position. An interpre tation element further is utilized to provide a parameter of the fluid movin g through the fluid channel based upon data from the vibrating wire followin g actuation by the actuation element.
