Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0584998A2] A method of detecting mud pulses in a flowing stream of mud comprises monitoring the pressure change as the pulse-containing stream passes between two regions of the conduit of different cross-sectional area. A device for use in such a method comprises a body (12) defining a through bore for passing drilling mud therethrough, first and second regions in the bore, the second region having a greater cross-sectional area than the first, and means (18) for sensing the difference in pressure between the mud in the first and second regions. <IMAGE>
