PARTICULATE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

An on-line sampling and analysis system and method in which a sampling line inlet pipe receives a continuous flow of a suspension or a slurry having particulates. A sample presentation area (20) such as a window is positioned below the flow of the suspension or slurry in an assembly allowing for the depositing of a sample of solid content from the suspension or slurry which is collected for viewing by a computer controlled video camera. The camera (26) is provided for imaging the sample of the solid content collected at the sample presentation area (20), and a personal computer analyzes images provided by the camera to characterize the content of the fluid media.
