Title: Innovations of Charles E Foerster, Jr.
Introduction
Charles E Foerster, Jr. is an accomplished inventor based in Northville, MI (US). He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his expertise in electronic testing and flow meter calibration. His innovative contributions have significantly impacted the fields of leak testing and fluid measurement.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Method and apparatus for electronic leak testing." This invention discloses an electronic dynamic balance leak testing system that utilizes a 'live zero.' The system connects a source of test medium at a predetermined pressure or vacuum to a part being tested. After filling the part with the test medium, the system stabilizes the effects of wave front oscillations. A microcomputer system is then employed to isolate the test part and measure the differential pressure at two points during the test. This method allows for quicker acceptance or rejection of parts based on a qualified leak curve.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for calibrating flow meters." This invention provides a system for calibrating liquid flow meters of all types. It includes a scale for dynamically determining the weight of a liquid flowing through a flow meter, along with means for measuring the flow. In the case of a glass tube flow meter, a float detection system ensures the float remains in a fixed position during testing, allowing for accurate flow measurements.
