Abstract
Abstract A comparison-type flux meter for works such as nozzles or the like has an output elimination circuit in co-operation with a DC amplifier receiving output of a differential pressure transducer inserted in the main pipe line. Measurement error is minimized and reading of deviation of works to standards is accurate and rapid.

A flux meter which comprises a main pipe line having an end connected to a hydraulic pressure source and extending through an orifice valve, another end of said main pipe line branching off to a first branch line extending through a first electromagnetic valve and having an end for connecting to a work to be tested, a differential pressure transducer having two inlets for connecting to differential pressure means, a said inlet of said transducer being connected to said main pipe line orifice valve inlet side and another inlet of said transducer being connected to said main line orifice valve outlet side, a DC amplifier, an input terminal of said DC amplifier being connected to said differential pressure transducer output terminal, an output elimination circuit connected to said DC amplifier for the elimination of said DC amplifier outputs, a first output terminal for supplying a relatively large value with respect to said DC amplifier output, a second output terminal for supplying a relatively small value with respect to said DC amplifier output, said last-mentioned output being of a value equal to said first-mentioned output, an indicator having a scale indicating from a negative to a positive value, and a change-over switch for changing said indicator input terminal over from said first and second output terminals.
