Abstract
Continuous steam quality monitoring is obtained by bleeding the steam through an orifice to generate acoustic energy. An acoustic transducer is coupled to the wall that contains the orifice. And, an amplifier with a narrow band acoustic frequency filter is employed so as to produce an output signal having an amplitude that is proportional to the quality of the steam.
