Acoustical Capacity Meter (combustion chamber)

Model:

VM-230A,VM-240A

Maker:

RION CO.,LTD.

Features

 

Acoustical Capacity Meter(Combustion Chamber Capacity Meter)

  • Regardless of the shape, the combustion chamber capacity can be measured by simply placting the capacity meter on the combustion chamber cavity of the cylinder head.
  • In stead of using a spark plug of the assembled engine, special adapters are used to connect to the capacity meter so that the combustion chamber capacity can be measured.
  • In the process of engine manufacturing or maintenance, the combustion chamber capacity can be measured ibn just two seconds in dry conditions.

 

Acoustical Volume Meter

  • Unlike the conventional method of the Archimedes principle (where the target object is immersed in water), this system allows volume measurement of the target object in dry conditions.
  • Even the volume of objects with complex shape can be measured accurately in a short time (approx. two seconds).

Measurement Method

 

The measurement head is directly placed on top of the combustion chamber cavity in the engine head block, and the capacity is measured using an acoustical method. This has several advantages, such as allowing easy measurement regardless of the shape of the measurement target, and requiring no liquid, so that the specimen can be measured in a dry state. Furthermore, the measurement takes only about two seconds. In view of how measurements are handled during the engine manufacturing process, a spark plug link pipe and link adapter are also available, making it possible to perform the combustion chamber capacity measurement after the engine has been assembled.
