The
in-line measurement of bulk solids flow is important for
product quality, process efficiency and system safety. The
Granucor system provides continuous, real-time flow measurement
of dense phase pneumatically conveyed bulk solids or of
free falling materials. Its non-intrusive design and patented
software can be used to monitor and control the flow in
pipes or the flow distribution through pipe networks.
The
complete Granucor system can measure and output:
- Bulk
Flow Rate
- Totalized
Flow
- Concentration
- Velocity
Capacitance
Flow Measurement
A
complete Granucor system is composed of two independent sensors
and a correlator/integrator. The DK13 Velocity Sensor and
the DC13 Concentration Sensor operate using capacitance technology
and are designed for direct installation into process piping.
The concentration sensor measures the change in capacitance
with material present versus the capacitance of an empty pipe.
This change in capacitance is proportional to the material
concentration. The velocity sensor uses two measuring points
and a technique known as cross-correlation to measure the
time it takes for the material to travel between the points.
The two-capacitance measurements are output to the MT2109
correlator/integrator, which calculates the mass flow rate.
