Flow Rate Measurement Method and Apparatus of Thick Pastes

摘要

Research on the rheological characteristics and delivery resistance needs precise flow rate in pipes of thick pastes which is the basis of delivery capacity calculation and equipment selection for a pipeline system. However, the existing apparatuses are not suitable for flow rate measurement of the thick pastes, so it is necessary to design a kind of apparatus applicable to the above requirements. This paper by using an electromagnetic induction coil as a sensor, designs a kind of flow rate measurement apparatus of thick pastes. It describes the measurement method and its principle, and analyzes the error of this apparatus. A loop-pipe transportation test of coal slime was conducted, and it shows the relative test experimental error of this apparatus is less than 1%.
