Abstract :
An electrostatic, noncontact method that is based on a method developed earlier for continuous measurement of electric charges of solid particles in the two-phase particulate flow in pneumatic transport pipelines is presented. A microcomputer-based measuring system and some results of very preliminary tests are revealed. The system allows continuous, noncontact measurements of the average velocity of flow and the mass flow rate
