An ultrasound-based simple noninvasive procedure for abrasiveslurries efficiency control

摘要

Slurries are widely used in industry. Correct usage alwaysnrequires granulometric measurements. Several methods are available, butnthe most attractive ones are on-line, noninvasive ultrasound basedntechniques. In this paper a simple procedure is proposed that refers tonthe use of abrasive slurries in sawing processes. The procedure usesnultrasound attenuation measurements to optimize the process efficiencynby the on-line granulometric characterization of the abrasive slurrynitself
