摘要 For use in systems for counting particles suspended in a liquid by detection of changes in the impedance of a fluid path caused by passage of particles through an aperture, a conductivity cell having a pair of electrodes with an easily removable aperture disposed therebetween and a vent disposed with respect to the electrodes to permit purging of the cell after an analytical run.
权利要求
1. A conductivity cell for counting particles suspended within a liquid, comprising: a cell body having an input passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a supply of liquid to be analyzed, and an output passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a flow tube through which liquid flows for analysis; a vent passage formed in said cell body and having an end communicating with said output passage; a support member having an aperture provided in a surface thereof, said support member being removably disposed within said cell body with said aperture in alignment with said input passage, said support member having a fluid passage formed in an end thereof and communicating between an opposite end of said aperture and the output passage of said cell body, said support member being of elongated configuration and when disposed within said cell body having a portion which extends outwardly therefrom; a first electrode disposed within said input passage and confronting one end of said aperture; a second electrode disposed within said output passage at a position downstream from said end of said vent passage; said first and second electrodes are each of rodlike configuration and said second electrode has its entire active surface at a position downstream from said end of said vent passage; and means within said cell body for providing electrical connection from said first and second electrodes to respective terminals disposed on said cell body.
2. A conductivity cell for counting particles suspended within a liquid, comprising: a cell body having an input passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a supply of liquid to be analyzed, and an output passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a flow tube through which liquid flows for analysis: a vent passage formed in said cell body and having an end communicating with said output passage; a support member having an aperture provided in a surface thereof, said support member being removably disposed within said cell body with said aperture in alignment with said input passage, said support member having a fluid passage formed in an end thereof and communicating between an opposite end of said aperture and the output passage of said cell body, said support member being of elongated configuration and when disposed within said cell body having a portion which extends outwardly therefrom; a first electrode disposed within said input passage and confronting one end of said aperture; a second elecTrode disposed within said output passage at a position downstream from said end of said vent passage; said second electrode being of sleevelike configuration; and means within said cell body for providing electrical connection from said first and second electrodes to respective terminals disposed on said cell body.
3. A conductivity cell for counting particles suspended within a liquid, comprising: a cell body having an input passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a supply of liquid to be analyzed, and an output passage formed therein and adapted to be coupled to a flow tube through which liquid flows for analysis; a vent passage formed in said cell body and having an end communicating with said output passage; a support member having an aperture provided in a surface thereof, said support member being removably disposed within said cell body with said aperture in alignment with said input passage, said support member having a fluid passage formed in an end thereof and communicating between an opposite end of said aperture and the output passage of said cell body, said support member being of elongated configuration and when disposed within said cell body having a portion which extends outwardly therefrom; a first electrode disposed within said input passage and confronting one end of said aperture; a second electrode disposed within said output passage at a position downstream from said end of said vent passage; said second electrode being of foil configuration and disposed along a bottom portion of said output passage; and means within said cell body for providing electrical connection from said first and second electrodes to respective terminals disposed on said cell body.
