2. Function
•
The SolidFlow 2.0 is a measuring system which has been specially developed for measuring the quantity
of solids conveyed in pipelines.
•
The sensor works with the latest microwave technology. It is only used in metallic pipelines. The special
integration of microwave technology together with the metallic pipeline creates a homogeneous
measurement field.
•
The microwave radiation in the pipeline is reflected by the solid particles and received by the sensor.
The frequency and amplitude of the received signals are analysed.
•
The frequency-selected evaluation system ensures that only moving particles are measured and
deposits are suppressed.
•
SolidFlow 2.0 features active stratification compensation which increases measurement accuracy.
