| Abstract | The flow velocity and solids concentration in a pneumatic conveying line can be measured in-line and non-invasively from measurements of the axial propagation of active acoustic signals. This paper investigates the performance of a prototype meter in regions of developing flow, in particular after a horizontal 90°pipe bend where strong particle roping behaviour has been observed. The effect of the location of the intrumentation on the accuracy and reproducibility of the measurement is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
