METHOD FOR DETERMINING PARAMETERS, FOR EXAMPLE LEVEL, PRESSURE, GAS COMPOSITION IN CLOSED CONTAINERS

摘要

Primary mechanical vibrations are generated in a container wall (12) to determine parameters in closed containers. The secondary vibrations caused by the primary mechanical vibrations of the container wall (12) in the container (10), which take place in the are between the closure (12) and the liquid, are recorded and analyzed, whereby the parameters are determined on the basis of recorded frequency progression of said vibrations. Further, the primary vibrations of the closure (12) can also be recorded and analyzed, whereby the inner pressure prevailing inside the container (10) can be determined on the basis of the frequency of said primary vibrations. The frequencies of the primary and secondary vibrations can be determined by conducting a frequency spectrum analysis. The secondary vibrations can be recorded independently from the primary vibrations so that only those vibrations occurring within a timed measurement window are recorded, within which the primary vibrations have already abated.
