Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0163252A1] The invention relates to a compact precision measuring head for measuring the refractive index in liquids and gases with an extremely high degree of accuracy, under environmental pressures of 1000 bar and greater. The measuring head consists of a single-block (1) glass reference prism connected to a stable high-pressure bulkhead fitting (2) which serves as the linking element between the measuring medium and the pressure-resistant interior of the instrument housing, said housing containing the optoelectronic assemblies for generating the electric measuring signals for the subsequent calculation of the desired refractive index values. The measuring head is designed in particular for economic, automatic mass production on computerized machines. Absolute calibration takes place using normal liquids and/or gases to an accuracy of approximately 10<-6>...10<-7>.
