Title: Walter C. Weimer: Ultrasonic Innovations for Fluid Measurement
Introduction
Walter C. Weimer is an inventor based in Richland, Washington, whose work focuses on ultrasonic technologies for monitoring and characterizing fluids. He is associated with Battelle Memorial Institute and holds 2 patents.
Latest Patents
Weimer’s patent, “Ultrasonic Fill Level Device and Method,” describes a system that uses ultrasound to determine the liquid level inside a container. An ultrasonic device sends signals along transverse and inclined paths through the liquid, then calculates the level from the return signals’ travel times. The design can use multiple transducer elements set at different angles within a shared housing.
His patent, “Ultrasonic System and Technique for Fluid Characterization,” presents a system for measuring fluid flow and properties. A pair of multi-frequency ultrasound transducers operate in mono-static and bi-static modes under computer control. In mono-static mode, Doppler measurements help establish a velocity profile, which can be combined with pressure-drop measurements to determine a rheogram. Bi-static measurements provide additional information that can improve the accuracy of the velocity profile and help characterize the fluid. The system is designed for automated operation across different fluid types and can be monitored or reconfigured remotely.
Career Highlights
At Battelle Memorial Institute, Weimer’s patented work applies ultrasonic measurement to practical challenges in fluid monitoring. His inventions address both liquid-level detection in containers and the analysis of flowing fluids.
Collaborations
Weimer’s listed coworkers include Richard A. Pappas and Don Simone Daly. Their shared professional context at Battelle reflects a collaborative research environment for developing and applying technical innovations.
Conclusion
Walter C. Weimer’s two patents demonstrate how ultrasonic methods can support precise liquid-level measurement and detailed fluid characterization.
