RADIAL MODE FLUID PROCESS METER

摘要

A process meter and method for measurement of volume fraction of a slurry mixture. An example process meter includes a first viscosity meter configured to measure a first viscosity of the fluid and to generate a first viscosity signal proportionally related to the first viscosity. The example process meter also includes a second viscosity meter configured to measure a second viscosity of the slurry mixture and to generate a second viscosity signal proportionally related to the second viscosity. The example process meter also includes control electronics configured to receive the first viscosity signal and the second viscosity signal, and to calculate a volume fraction of the solid particles in the slurry mixture based on the first viscosity signal and the second viscosity signal. The control electronics is configured to create an output signal from the process meter proportionally related to the volume fraction, and to measure the volume fraction.
