SolidFlow is a measuring system especially developed for measuring the flow rate of pneumatically
conveyed solids in metallic ducts.
The microwave energy is being back scattered by the solid particles and received by the sensor. These
signals are evaluated in frequency and amplitude. Because of the selective frequency evaluation only
moving particles are measured.
The measuring signal is independent of pressure and temperature in the duct. A measuring unit consists
of one or two sensors, a pre-amplifier and the evaluation unit.
