ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for continuously measuring with safety and high accuracy the calorific power of a sample containing hydrocarbon compounds and sulfur, such as crude oil and petroleum products. The apparatus supplies two energy levels of radioactive rays to be absorbed by the sample, a first supply of the radioactive rays having an energy level at which the mass absorption coefficient of carbon differs from that of hydrogen, and a second supply of rays having an energy level at which the mass absorption coefficient of carbon is approximately equal to that of hydrogen. The first rays yield a signal varying with the concentrations of hydrogen, carbon and sulfur in the sample, while the second rays yield a signal varying with the concentration of sulfur in the sample. The signals are density compensated, and mathematically correlated according to a predetermined arithmetic formula to determine the calorific power of the sample hydrocarbon compound.
