    摘要: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a pulse counter for fluid pressure changes. The pulse counter may include: a first and a second housing part with a fluid passage; a circuit board at least partially enclosed within the housing, the circuit board comprising a light pulse transmitter and a light pulse receiver; a battery at least partially within the housing, the battery supplying electric power to the light pulse transmitter and the light pulse receiver; a rod slidably arranged within the housing, with one end of the rod within the fluid passage, and a second end arranged at least partly breaking a light pulse between the light pulse transmitter and the light pulse receiver; and a spring forcing the rod away from the light pulse and towards the fluid passage.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a group (10) and method for measuring the pressure in closed containers (30) made from optically transparent material at least at a portion of a top space (31) thereof, and a filling and/or packaging plant (100) using the measuring group. In particular the present invention concerns a group and a method for contactlessly measuring the pressure in closed containers, able to be used directly in automatic filling and/or packaging plants operating at high speed, without the need to stop or slow down such plants or in any case to pick up the containers from the same. The measuring group for measuring the pressure in closed containers (30) made from optically transparent material at least at a portion of a top space (31) thereof, comprises at least one inspection area (20) adapted for the passage of at least one portion of a top space (31) of a closed container (30) of said closed containers; at least one laser source (11) with optical axis (A) for the emission of a laser beam at a wavelength tunable with an absorption wavelength of a gas contained in the top space (31) of the closed container (30), the at least one laser source (11) being positioned so as to direct the laser beam towards the at least one inspection area (20); at least one detector (12) positioned so as to detect at least one portion of the laser beam emitted by the laser source (11) once it has travelled through the inspection area (20) and to provide in output data representative of an absorption spectrum of said gas as a consequence of the passage of the laser beam through the inspection area (20); at least one device (14,14′) for detecting the signal acquisition time period corresponding to the passage of said at least one portion of a top space (31) of a closed container (30) through the inspection area; and is characterised in that it comprises means (41) for identifying signal contributions useful for the pressure measurement amongst the data representative of an absorption spectrum acquired during the signal acquisition time period.
