SENSOR DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR IN-LINE MEASUREMENT OF SUPERFICIAL GAS VELOCITY, FROTH DEPTH, APPARENT DENSITY AND HOLDUP IN FLOTATION CELLS

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of measurement devices, specifically to devices for measuring pressure and flow as well as derived quantities, and in particular provides a sensor device for in-line measurement of superficial gas velocity, froth depth, apparent density and holdup in flotation cells, which comprises: a first tube; a second tube; a first valve connected to said first tube; a second valve connected to said second tube; a first pressure meter connected to said first tube; a second pressure meter connected to said second tube; a first mass flow meter connected to said first valve; and a second mass flow meter connected to said second valve. The present invention also provides a system for in-line measurement of superficial gas velocity in flotation cells.
