In this study, the liquid-vapor (L-V) separator equipped with liquid-level meter is developed. In the developed L-V separator, the flange is designed to be attachable so that the separator can be flexibly applied under any cases where the volumetric of L-V separator is varied by the system requirement. The leak-tightness between the attachable flange and the chamber is experimentally confirmed with the use of double groove indium wire sealing even under the high pressure up to 20 bar. In addition, the liquid-level meter is designed and fabricated to figure out the inner state of L-V separator. It consists with 19 carbon composition resistors in series. All resistors are separately calibrated in the temperature range from 77 K to 200 K. The performance of the L-V separator and the liquid-level meter is investigated with experimental tests, and the result is presented in this paper.

In this study, 1-3 type composite specimens were fabricated with PZT powders prepared by the molten-salt synthesis method and Eccogel polymer matrix. A virtual level-meter was fabricated with a 1-3 type composite probe and electronic unit for underwater application. There was no difference in values between a virtual and measured level on its level meter.

Recently, level meters have been associated with the safety and maintenance of industrial sites and require a wide measurement range. Generally, to ensure the measurement range of the level meter, the measurement environment is improved to reduce the noise or to compensate the distortion of the signal through signal processing. The noise of FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar level meter or the distortion of the signal affects the near region characteristics of the level gauge, resulting in a reduction of the minimum detection distance. In this paper, an equalizer filter considering characteristics of window function and bit spectrum is applied to remove the noise in the near region of the level meter to improve the minimum detection distance performance and to improve the measurement reliability in the vicinity of the level meter, which is relatively difficult to detect, we want to improve the detection range.

In this paper a ultrasonic oil level meter for measuring oil levels of vehicle transmissions is designed and its effectiveness is shown by experiments. On a FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) project IDE(Integrated Development Environment), all digital circuits for the meter is designed using a FPGA, which enables simplicity and high performance of the meter as well as short developing time. Also, power supplying circuit and analog circuits to process low voltage ultrasonic echo signal are designed and simulated. Under experiments, the designed level meter is verified to provide accuracy to within 1mm.

In this study, the contamination level was measured using an ATP meter using adenosine triphosphate bioluminescent material to find effective infection control to compensate for the disadvantages of the microbial culture method used for hygiene control of ultrasound probe. The convex probes were selected from six ultrasound probe in the hospital, and the samples were taken in real time before and after cleaning to check the contamination of the probe. In order to classify the pollution degree using the APT meter was classified by category. A total of 78 samples were collected from the ultrasound probe. When the pollution levels before and after cleaning were classified by category, 76.6% of the samples were classified into category 3·4 before cleaning, but they decreased to 23.3% after cleaning. 13.3% before cleaning was in category 1, but increased to 43.3% after cleaning. By classifying the pollution level, it was confirmed that the pollution level was significantly reduced by category. Until now, there was no suitable criterion for determining the contamination level by using ATP meter in medical machines where sample area is small and reused. In this study, criteria for each category were set to measure the contamination level of ATP meter suitable for small sample area such as ultrasound probe, so that contamination level could be determined in real time at the site. Therefore, it is considered that hygiene management for ultrasound probe can be more actively performed.

This paper proposed the design technology for the level meter of the overflow preventer system of LNG storage tank. The parts of LNG ship should be developed under considering the cryogenic environment. Therefore, we proposed the structure of level meter to prevent overflow of LNG tank using the numerical analysis method. The proposed level meter for the overflow preventer is manufactured and the performance is verified through international authorized inspection agency.

A new method was developed to measure underground water level with high reliability. The principle of new method was to detect a change of a buoyant force according to change in water level of underground water measured by the use of a straingage load cell. Field test of the instrument was carried out in Cheju Island. The results were as follows; 1) The present study provided a possibility to develop a new underground water level meter. 2) This new instrument accomplished high reliability at field test in Cheju Island. 3) There is possibility of development of water level meter which measure various range of water level to detect a weight change of a buoyant forcd.

In this paper a ultrasonic level meter for accurately and simply measuring oil levels of vehicle transmission is developed and its effectiveness is shown by experiments. By using a FPGA, all digital signal processes for the oil level calculation is fulfilled, and the programming on a FPGA project IDE enables very short developing time. And besides, analog circuits including a transmit/receive switch, multi-stage active filters and an envelope detect circuit are designed to process low-level ultrasonic echo signal. Under experiments, the designed level meter has proven to have the accuracy of about within 1[mm] scale.
