Electrostatic sensor for real-time mass flow rate measurement of particle conveying in pneumatic pipeline

Abstract

This paper discussed the electrostatic sensors that have been constructed for real-time mass flow rate measurement of particle conveying in a pneumatic pipeline. Many industrial processes require continuous, smooth, and consistent delivery of solids materials with a high accuracy of controlled flow rate. This requirement can only be achieved by installing a proper measurement system. Electrostatic sensor offers the most inexpensive and simplest means of measuring solids flows in pipes
