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.
