Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004040129A1] The invention relates to a method for measuring the injection rate of an injection valve for liquids, preferably liquid fuel, according to which the injection valve (3) injects the liquid into a liquid-filled sensing volume (1) that is sealed on all sides, a pressure sensor (20) being arranged inside the sensing volume. The sound velocity is determined and, as a consequence, the injection quantity (<m) or the progress of the injection rate (r (t)) is calculated from the measured pressure values (p (t)) or by means of a separate measurement. The inventive device comprises a sensing volume (1), an injection valve (3) which protrudes into the sensing volume by means of at least one injection port (12), and a pressure sensor (20) that is disposed within the pressure node of the natural vibration of the pressure of the sensing volume (1).
