Abstract
Many types of techniques for metering the mass flow rate of bulk solids in a pneumatic pipeline have been proposed and developed during the past 20 years. This paper presents a detailed and comprehensive review of the techniques and the current state of knowledge and experience. The techniques are classified under three main categories: direct measurement of solids mass flow rates, measurement of volumetric concentrations of solids and measurement of solids velocity. Future developments and possible trends in this field are also included.Keywords
