A non-positive displacement pump (such as a centrifugal pump) is used to determine physical variables of a slurry (such as medium consistency paper pulp) or liquid. In essence by utilizing information from the manufacturer of the pump, and by connecting up the pump to a device for determining the power supplied to the pump to effect pumping, and a device for determining the pressure difference between inlet and outlet piping, the pump essentially may be used as a sensor for determining the density, solids consistency, volume rate of flow, and/or gas content of the liquid or slurry being pumped. |
