PCT No. PCT/GB94/00390 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 24, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 24, 1994 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/19674 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 1, 1994An apparatus for measuring properties of a slurry which comprises a slurry transporting section (16), means for measuring (14a) at a first inspection site the particle size distribution of a slurry entering the transporting section, means for measuring (14b) at a second inspection site the particle size distribution of slurry leaving the transporting section and means for calculating (13a, 13b) from the particle size distribution measured at the first and second inspection sites a parameter related to the floc strength of the slurry which has passed between the first and second inspection sites. The transporting section may comprise a pipe which includes a flow constriction. The transporting section may be a removable section fitted between a slurry inlet means and an outlet means. The said means for calculating may calculate one or more regression coefficients which define the curve described by the floc mass size equation or the breakage ratio define by the mean floc sizes before and after breakage. The means for measuring particle size at each inspection may comprise a scanning laser microscope.
