mass flow sensor / for bulk products

Measurement of pneumatically conveyed bulk goods

Applications

Ideal for controlling and regulating secondary fuels as well as for monitoring limit values and quantity balancing: MicroFlow reliably detects the massflow of pneumatically conveyed bulk goods in metallic pipes.

MicroFlow operates mostly independently of temperature and pressure and is also suitable for use with small quantities. Contact-free measurement directly in the pipe virtually eliminates the possibility of mechanical wear and tear.

MicroFlow is accurate between 2 % and 5 %, depending on the location of the sensor and the particle flow profile. To improve accuracy, especially in pipes with large diameters, 2 sensors can be connected to calculate an average value.

Mechanism

The sensor uses microwaves to perform its measurements. It transmits a measurement frequency from its front side. The reflected signal is used to calculate the mass flow directly using a patented process and is read out as an analog signal proportional to the- mass flow rate. The signal is evaluated by the software supplied with the solution.
