Abstract
Abstract A refractometric densitometer includes a first packing element and a first gasket disposed at one side of a glass element and a second packing element and a second gasket disposed at the other side of the glass element. A groove for passage of a reference material and a groove for passage of a sample are respectively formed in the first and second packing elements. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are formed in the first and second gaskets for passing the reference material or the sample to the grooves. The outlet pipe of the first gasket is connected to the inlet pipe of the second gasket. Multiple reflection is imparted to an incident light from the part of the glass element between the faced surfaces of the glass element contacting the first and second packing elements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A refractometric densitometer comprising: a first packing element and a first gasket disposed at one side of a glass element, a second packing element and a second gasket disposed at the other side of the glass element, a groove for passage of a reference material and a groove for passage of a sample respectively formed in the first and second packing elements, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe formed in the first and second gaskets for passing the reference material or the sample to the grooves, means for connecting the outlet pipe of the first gasket to the inlet pipe of the second gasket, and means for imparting multiple reflection to an incident light from the part of the glass element between the faced surfaces of the glass element contacting the first and second packing elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A refractometric densitometer comprising: a first packing element and a first gasket disposed at one side of a glass element, a second packing element and a second gasket disposed at the other side of the glass element, a groove for passage of a reference material and a groove for passage of a sample respectively formed in the first and second packing elements, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe formed in the first and second gaskets for passing the reference material or the sample to the grooves, means for connecting the outlet pipe of the first gasket to the inlet pipe of the second gasket, and means for imparting multiple reflection to an incident light from the part of the glass element between the faced surfaces of the glass element contacting the first and second packing elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
A refractometric densitometer according to claim 1, wherein second glass elements are respectively disposed between the first packing element and the first gasket and between the second packing element and the second gasket so that a reflection of a part of the light transmitted from the first glass element through the first packing element is prevented on the surface of the gasket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
A refractometric densitometer according to claim 1 wherein a semi-cylindrical prism for focusing the incident light to one end of the glass element is disposed at one side of the glass element, a prism formed by a curvature at a center of a focus on an extended virtual reflected light is disposed at the other side of the glass element to pass the multiple reflected light to a light detecting means so that calibration for measurement of the surface of the incident and reflected light is obtained.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A refractometric densitometer according to claim 1, wherein the thicknesses of the first and second packing elements are varied depending upon the flow rate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A refractometric densitometer according to claim 4, wherein the thicknesses of the first and second packing elements are reduced for low flow rates.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A refractometric densitometer according to claim 4, wherein the thicknesses of the first and second packing elements are increased for high flow rates.
